Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Ask The Gunwriters Who uses WipeOut Bore cleaner?

All the reviews I have read about it, are very positive. I do like the idea it uses no ammonia and does not require a brush to remove carbon or copper. Just curious what the consensus is about the product as I have to order it. No one carries the product close to me.

Fixed it for you. Wonderful stuff - well worth ordering. Be sure and ask on here about applying it without getting it all over. Everyone has methods that work for everyone but me. I am reminded of Portnoy's Complaint each time I use it. (But I keep on using it and liking it.)

Good stuff.. Works great when I clean the bores on my rifles.

Which is pretty much a once a year deal..

Good stuff for copper.

Its good for copper especially if you have installed Dura Coat and can't get aggressive with JB. Does a better job for me than Montana Extreme.

Use it once a year. Spray in the barrel out side because it will come out the end of the barrel. I use short spurts of the Wipe-Out so it doesn't just fly thru the barrel. Put empty plastic bottle over the end of the barrel so if anything drips It catches while you wait for it to work. I leave it in the gun for an hour. Then follow the instructions to use patches to clean it out. After clean put some solvent like Shooters Choice on a patch and clean like normaly to get anything that might be left. This Wipe-Out takes out a lot of copper and such so next time you shoot you will have to shoot some fouling shots before the barrel is seasoned and ready to go. Great stuff.

I've been using it for a couple of years, really like it alot. It's great for copper, just be sure you aren't in a hurry, as it takes several hours, sometimes more than one treatment. Don't use the accelerator, as it is supposed to be corrosive.

It's not so great on carbon, and I use a carbon solvent before I use Wipe Out, if I'm really being picky.

Better than Wipe Out is Montana Extreme, also not corrosive, but it really stinks (I only use it outside). Faster than Wipe Out.

I switched from the foam "WipeOut" to the liquid "PatchOut", the same stuff but less messy to use.
Both are great from removing copper

Just don't get it on your wood. Ir will absolutely destroy the finish/

Thanks guys, a wealth of information. Will order some soon

been using it of late since this spring.....must have used it on 10 rifles thus far. some repeated use is required with barrels of mine that "pull" copper more than others. gave away the "other" stuff I've used for yrs. happily.

like others have said, works great on copper, but does nothing on carbon.

Funny, the advertise that it removes all barrel deposits. I think I can live with getting the copper out without much brush work. Currently, I use brake cleaner to remove carbon and it works good.

Been using Wipe Out for the past couple of years. I now clean my barrels with an initial pass of Hoppes Elite, a patch, then apply the Wipe Out. I usually let it sit overnite before running a patch thru the barrel. Usually one treatment does the trick, but it varies from gun to gun.

I no longer use brushes of any kind, and always use a bore guide. Better accuracy and longer barrel life due to not scrubbing the dickens out of them with excessive bore brushing, are the upsides of using Wipe Out, imo.

+2 great stuff.

I also let it sit overnight. When I get up to pee, I go and rotate the rifle in the cradle, so that the liquid that condenses from the foam gets to sit on the other side of the barrel. Not sure if that makes any sense or not, but little that I do does. (You could ask my wife.)

The way to avoid the mess with Wipeout is wrap the straw with masking tape to about the neck dia of the chamber, insert the straw into the chamber, give it a half second burst, let it foam for a bit, another half second burst and wait until it stops foaming before removing the straw. If you use short bursts and wait for it stop foaming up you'll reduce the excess that foams out the muzzle or back into the action.

Then set the rifle with the muzzle pointing slightly down to avoid having it run back into the action. I use a cardboard box with V cut-outs and rag under the muzzle to catch the drips.

Who uses WipeOut Bore cleaner?

Not me -- prefer KG products. Less mess and better results.

I had used it in the past, but gave up on it because it's so messy. Your way sounds like it may work without so much mess to clean up. I've have to give it another try.

It also helps to open the floorplate, drop everything down, and insert a paper towel into the magazine well.
