I have been using Hunter's Extreme Coppermelt for about a month now and I've come to the conclusion that I won't clean rifles without it again. If you follow the instructions of using an undersize nylon brush to hold your cotton patch, there is no other product I've found that cleans a rifle so squeaky clean in so short of time.

Anyone else using this product?

Bump to top due to Mortie's stupidity.

I want to see if any one else has had similiar results.

Is it ammonia-based, like Sweet's 7.62 and Barnes' CR-10?

I talked with the owner and he said there is only a little ammonia in it. He said that the strong ammonia like smell comes from the enzymes they put in. I'm no chemist so that's all I know. All I know is that if you follow the instructions, most of the powder fouling and copper are out after the first wet patch. I generally push a jag thru and then use one or two more wet patches and that's pretty much all there is. With the exception of one rifle with a very rough bore (takes 6 wet patches), 3 wet patches are just about all it takes.

I like the Wipe Out foam, but this product will still find copper after using the Wipe Out and I don't have to let the rifle sit all night full of foam.

who makes coppermelt, who sells it? I'ld give it a rty, I really hate cleaning any of my firearms.

I'll have to try some. I need to give my 300 win a good copper cleaning before I start shooting cast in it.

I just saw it advertised on the "Outdoor Channel". It's expensive, but I think I'll buy some. Their web site is: www.coppermelt.com

I first saw it advertised in a gun magazine. I strongly recommend buying their undersized brushes for your caliber because if there is any, and I mean any brass on your brush it will give you false readings. The owner told me he was going to begin producing brushes per exact caliber in the near future but for now use the ones per their chart. (i.e. for a .375HH use a .30 caliber brush.) You dont want a real tight fit with your patch wrapped around the brush. The brush is only used to hold the wet patch.

I was shocked the first time I used it.
I gave my first wet patch about 35-40 strokes and then used a dry patch on a jag. Then a wet patch 35-40 strokes and a dry. After the third wet patch and then dry, it was done.

The stuff may seem expensive but you use so much less solvent if you follow their instructions. My only problem now is what to do with the 3 bottles of Barnes CR 10 I have!
