[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1317344, member: 2736"] +1 This is my preferred solvent, But it is slower than the butches and that is why I don't use it at the range. Butches should not be left in the bore for more than 4 hours but it is fast enough to do break ins in a timely fashion. Sweets 7-62 is about the fastest, but it is very harsh and should only be used as a last resort for badly fouled barrels and not left in barrels for more than 3 or 4 minutes. There are basically only three or fore types of solvent to pick from. those that can be left in the bore only minutes, those that can be left for 3 to 4 hours, those that can be left over night and those that can be left indefinitely. Solvent recommendations should be observed and understood to avoid doing damage to a fine barrel (Or any other for that matter) Caution: very few solvents should be left in the bore for storage and even though some solvents say it is ok, I feel it is still best to store a rifle in a clean condition and with a well oiled bore. I use 4 different types/brands of solvents for my needs even though there are many to choose from that are probably just as good but 0nly one solvent will not work for me because some times I need a very fast solvent at times and other times I can take my time and let the barrel soak over night, so different rates of cleaning works best for me. I have bore scoped many rifle barrels and have seen the results of not following the solvent manufactures recommendations and poor storage practice. Just my opinion J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
