Gun cleaning question.

What does everyone use to remove copper fouling?

I am noticing some buildup in my 300 win mag barrel.

Sweets is my favorite for removing copper. The new Sweets is not as strong as the old stuff. I also like Butch's Bore Shine.

Barnes CR-10 is a good copper solvent too, a lot like the old Sweets 762.

I have used Remington's Bore Scrub, have had no complaints

FDXX75

I use Kroil first to get the powder fouling,then JB Paste for the copper and the Kroil again to clean up whats left,,,

I love the Shooters Choice Copper Solvent. Best stuff I've ever used. It also seasons the barrel to prevent copper build up and makes cleaning even easier and faster.

Thanks guys, I'll try some of what you have recommended.

I use a bore brush one caliber smaller than the gun I am cleaning and wrap a patch around the brush and apply the paste to the patch,,it makes quick work of a nasty bbl and the paste actually conditions the bore like a cast iron skillet,,My 300 RUM has been cleaned like this a bunch and after 10 years it is the smoothest bore and easiest bbl to clean I have,,

if it is real bad dirty,,shoot it 3 times real fast and warm it up a little right before cleaning,,makes the REAL dirty ones come clean ALOT easier also
