Has anyone had any experience using a product for brushless bore cleaning named "Wipe-Out"? The literature that came with the product states that it is safe to leave in the bore overnight. Before I did this, I was wondering if anyone has tried it?

Thanks

Somewhere a couple guys were talking about this product. They said it was unbelievable.
I guess before I'd leave it in overnight I'd see what kind of results you get in an hour.
If it's that ez to use I'd "plunge" it out with a tight patch and check for copper streaks in the lands and re apply for another hour. Just my thoughts--I'm pretty sure you are right the claim is not to hurt anything by leaving overnight but, it is your gun!

Ther have been 2 or 3 long threads on this product recently. Use the search function on this site to find them. Everyone was happy with the product myself included. It is safe to leave it overnight if necesarry.
This stuff actually does what they claim!

It really is great stuff.

I use it. It worked well in my 270 and 06's but for some reason not so well in my 300RUM. Maybe cause it copper fouls so bad in that rifle. But I clean out the barrel bore with sweets or CR-10 for a few strokes and clean out real good with a few dry patchs then will leave Wipe Out in the bore overnigt and clean out. Then the next morning, do again and when come home from work, clean dry with patchs. I do a sanity check with sweets if no copper comes out, I oil. Usually takes two applications for me. But in that 300RUM, two applications don't touch it. I like the product cause I believe I do more damage to the bore than good after swabbing a few hundred times with a rod and sweets or others. I believe Hoppes Benchrest will have the same affect. Hoppes said the benchrest formula is PH balanced unlike Sweets so you can leave it in overnight. Jury is still out on that one.

I got some of this stuff and was impressed to learn that it does, indeed, work as advertised.

I tried it out first on an old, shot-out, AR-15 barrel that I didn't care about. It took a few overnight applications but patches did come out clean.

Then I tried it on my .270, which fouls moderately. One application, sat overnight, brought out a deep blue patch. Another application for 15 minutes came out with only a little carbon. Inspection with a bore light confirmed that copper had been eradicated from its usual hiding places.

The tricky thing about this stuff is getting it to expand just right, to fill the bore and not gush out everwhere.

To do that you must *lightly* plug the chamber with your gloved finger and hold the nozzle *hard* against the muzzle while pushing the button for a slow 2-count. If you plug the chamber too tightly, or let a little gap appear at the muzzle, the foam will take the path of least resistance and not fill the bore. But at some point (I haven't perfected this) you have to seal the chamber tightly to prevent the overflow from running through the magazine or out the ejection port onto your stock finish.

On firearms with flash suppressors or muzzle brakes a tight seal is impossible. The best solution I found for the AR (actually suggested by the manufacturer when I had him on the phone, I believe) was to stick a flexible soda straw in the chamber neck and seal the nozzle against the other end.
