Use SHOOTER'S CHOICE. It will remove copper fouling. Clean as normal until most of the nasty black stuff comes out. Run a patch soaked with SC through the barrel and let set over night. In the AM run another patch soaked with SC through the bore. If you get a green-blue color you have copper fouling continue this procedure until all blue green doesn't appear. In the process run a copper brush through the bore to remove stubborn fouling. the SC will eat up a bore brush so clean it after use. Continue this procedure until blue green doesn't appear, may take sometime but a good cleaning works wonders. Good luck and good shooting!
Remington Bore Cleaner
Comes in a plastic bottle with a ball inside.
Does not smell much - feels like oil. Requires shaking. Feels gritty - there is some stuff there in the liquid. Promises to clean copper and fouling.
What is that? Is it abrasive? Is it abrasive to the bore metal?
I was sold that when I requested something that can be used indoor which it certainly does.
You cannot use that one with a pull-through cable as it requires wrapping a patch around a brush and doing a dozen strokes.
Also, I was cleaning my Mini yesterday. Only 300 rds throught it plus 22lr - with cleanings in afterwards. I was at it for hours varying the methods - I used Hoppes #9 (Not copper), Remington Bore Cleaner - once, 10 strokes, Remington Oil and the brass brush with Hoppes and Oil. Also pull-through with line and push with a brass jag of different patches or patches wrapped on a nylon brush.
I wanted to achieve perfectly clean patches before going in with Hoppes Benchrest #9 Copper Remover.
Every time it gets clean with one method, another one would produce a lot of dirt. Especially the brass brush.
I will continue today. Is that normal?
