cleaning copper fouling

I used Wipe-Out (and their Accelerator) for a while and was happy with the results. That is, however, until I ran a few patches of Bore Tech Eliminator through a barrel that was already cleaned with Wipe-Out. I found out how clean my barrel wasn't. :rolleyes:

Run a few wet patches of Eliminator through your clean bore and let it sit for 10 min or so. My guess is that a lot of "clean" barrels will produce plenty of blue/green patches.
BTW - It's important to use nylon brushes and nickle plated jags to avoid a false indication of copper fouling.

I do occasionally short stroke some JB through my bores but my primary solvent is Bore Tech Eliminator.

+1. Also BT Cu+2 and KG-12 also work well. The recommendation on jag is excellent, takes out the guesswork.
