| Another vote for Wipe-Out. I tried a lot of cleaners, but Wipe-out worked the best for me. I had a barrel that fouled easily and would take 20+ patches to get clean, but an overnight soak in Wipe-out does the trick now. |

Rebarrel with something of better quality.
That doesn't seem particularly constructive. "Better quality" than what? Better than two air gauged Harts and a Shilen? The fellow is just trying to get his rifle clean, it can happen to the best of us. |

I recently starting using Montana Extreme Bore Solvent. In addition to removing unwanted nose hair it does a pretty fair job on copper.

| I have tried hoppes 9 and Rb 17 and they both don't seem to get the barrel clean enough. The gun had a least three hundred rounds through it without cleaning. Accuracy has gone from .375 to 1.25 and doesn't want to come back. What can I do?? |

| I use Outers Foul-Out II for heavy copper removal such as from Barnes X bullets although I never leave the solution in, or the unit turned on all night long. It's got a 'done' indicator on it and usually only takes an hour or so. I also use Barnes CR-10 for light fouling or when I need exercise with a brush and patches. |

| I use Hunters Extreme Copper Melt. It is spendy but I will never use anything else.Look it up on the internet, I think its coppermelt.com, they can explain what it does better than I can.slygunner |

| Actually, you can probably get all the copper out with the use of Barnes CR-10 and a nylon brush. Don't try to use a bronze brush, the CR-10 will just eat it.
I can hardly imagine the copper that CR-10 will not take out. But, if that is the case, then I would highly recommend the same thing that some folks use to clean guns when shooting moly bullets; that is Kroil and JB together. Swab the bore first with Kroil then work on it with JB or USP Paste, or Rem Clean, or any of the good paste cleaners. You will be able to get the thing clean eventually.
Good Luck, R F |

| I've had good results with Sweet's 7.62
It's got enough ammonia.

| Wipe out is the very best bore cleaner on the market. Try it, you will love it. |
