The best I have used thus far is wipout's Carb-out. Great Stuff!


Focus on the leading edge!

Hoppe's Elite works excellent and doesn't have all the hazardous chemicals of GM TEC.

quote:
Remove the Carbon First, then Attack the Copper
Here is what we recommend for an "average" factory barrel. After 25 rounds, or when accuracy degrades noticeably, spray some MPro7 or GM Top Engine Cleaner (TEC) down the bore from the muzzle. (Insert bore guide in breech first. Keep your MPro7 or TEC in a small plastic pump bottle for muzzle application). Let that sit a bit, then follow with a patched soaked with the same cleaner. Repeat. SharpShoot-R Carb-Out and Slip2000 Carbon Killer work really well also, when applied with soaking wet patches. Then, apply the same MPro7, TEC, Carb-Out, or Slip2000 generously to a bore brush, and run the brush through the bore 3-4 times, breech to muzzle.

Allow some dwell time between strokes. Always use a wet brush. GM TEC cleans a little faster but it has some dangerous solvents, so handle with care. MPro-7 is non-toxic, non-flammable, non-corrosive, and biodegradeable. It comes in liquid or gel, and is also sold as "Hoppes Elite" cleaner. Carb-Out (from the makers of Wipe-Out) is new, but looks very promising. When used with a brush, it has removed baked-on carbon that usually requires abrasive pastes to remove.

Tried Slip 2000 Carbon Killer today for the first time... one of the best agents I have ever used.

I've never strayed too far from Hoppe's No. 9. Does a nice job on carbon, starts to work on the copper and smells wonderful.

Try M-Pro 7. It is the favorite of several world-class bench rest shooters I have met. It is also the favorite of Ray Bowman of Precision Rifle and Tool, the custom gunsmith who built the rifle for Charles Ballard, who is the 2008 F Class national champion. Those guys shoot at 1,000 yards, so they demand accuracy and consistancy.

Hoppe's Elite is the same stuff as MPro-7 and a lot easier to find locally, works great, see the 6mmBR article above.

Hoppe's Elite. I don't want a harsh chemical for this process.

There is no liquid (currently made) that will get it all esp if you have a ring to get rid of. Iosso will get every bit of it so says the Borescope.
