What are people using for copper fouling?
« on: August 10, 2017, 08:47:51 PM »
I've been using Hopps copper solvent but am wondering what everyone else is using? Found something better?

Once the barrel is broken in I never pull the copper out.  Any of the ammonia based cleaners work well if you follow the directions.

I stopped using those hard core solvents years ago and have had great success with M-pro7 products.

Ive used wipe out and montana extreme 50bmg solvents.  They both work well but the 50bmg is just plain obnoxious. Bottle says "caution, strong vapors", i expected it to be a normal hoppes type smell, i took a whiff and felt like i got punched in the nose!  Definitely something to only use outside, even then, i can smell ammonia for days afterward.
you can still get gas in heaven, and a drink in kingdom come,
in the meantime, i'll be cleaning my gun

Yea I opened that took one wiff and threw it out.  No reason to use that when non-scent stuff like Boretech works so well.

I'll be trying out some Wipeout "Patchout" today. Heard good things about it. Apparently, no brush required. I've used quite a few of the other copper removers, but never Wipeout. I picked up a bottle at Sportsmans Warehouse last time I was in Federal Way, a couple weeks ago. Tried Cabelas in Lacey first but they don't have it, or at least I didn't see any in the store. Seems odd that they wouldn't stock it, as it seems to be pretty popular.

I've never tried the liquid Patchout but have had great success with the foam version.

I too make Ed's Red.  Last batch was a gallon that I'm working my way thru.   Ed's Red is good for powder fouling but not so much on copper fouling.
