Boretech products are what I have settled on. Work extremely well and great results.

Hoppe's Black Copper Cleaner is damn good.

Wipe out, Patch out, Montana Xtreme copper killer and MX bore cleaner. For really tough work JB compound and elbow grease.

A couple years ago I mixed up a batch of Ed's Red for the 4-H trap guns as they were on a tight budget. There was more than enough for both of us so I started using it on my guns with a lot of skepticism. Darned if it didn't work just fine on everything save for copper fouling. Pleasantly surprised.

Any consensus on which is the best out there? Are you looking for a general bore cleaner, copper removal, lead, etc, etc,? I've tried about everything out there and currently use Boretech for everything, BUT there are a lot of good products on the market.

Yes just trying to see if there was a couple of products that everyone agreed on. I have never shot a lot, 15- 20 rounds before deer season and clean at the end of the season with hoppes #9 so Im no expert , but my kids are getting into shooting a lot more and one is even building his own AR. So I was trying to provide some advice to them on what they need to be looking for

Again, I'd have to recommend Bore Tech for your needs; non-toxic, no odor and most importantly, they work very well.

when I need to get copper out I use a mix of 100% janitorial strength ammonia mixed 50/50 with hoppes #9 it's my own formula of butches bore shine ect. ect. and it works. when done I swab the bore with rem. oil the dray patch then another light coat of rem. oil. I have been using this for years with no problem at all only copper free bores,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
I have never harvested a animal but I have killed quite a few,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

I like WipeOut and BoreTech. These will get the copper out. Butches Bore Shine seems to work well on powder fouling. I following up with this after using the others. Lastly, I run a lightly coated patch with Eezox down the bore for corrosion resistance.

Kroil, best penetrating oil on the planet. I use it first for carbon removal.
For copper, Wipe Out is way too easy.
Bore Tech Eliminator if I'm in a hurry.
Treating the barrel with Dyna Tek Bore Coat makes any decent solvent look great.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Brasso. It's like a mix of ammonia and JB borebrite.
