COPPER BORE CLEANER

I am not sure I quite get he timeline.

But if I am reading the percentages right, all of the other cleaners are pretty much useless when compared to the KG-12.
 
Still didn't beat Boretech Eliminator in my tests.
Generally my go-to bore cleaner. It will get copper and carbon at the same time.
About twice a shooting season I will scrub with Hollands Witch's Brew and follow with some IOSSO Gun Brite in the throat. This chore takes barrels back to bare metal. I have a fairly high round count 6 Creedmoor that I did this too after I thought it was toast. Barrel came back shooting as good as ever. It has another 500 rounds on it now and still a hammer.
 
Barns Cr 10 and bortec elemantor are my liquid copper cleaners.
Iosso & jb are my scrubbers
 
None of the top grade barrels that I own have much copper in them after they are shot. I clean them fairly often. Perhaps we should have people indicate what sorts of barrels they are relaying experiences with. On the other hand, hard carbon is a continuing challenge, but I think that I have that problem well in hand.

Same here. I have bought 2 Kreiger barrels since 2009. Never saw any copper in the bore. I still use Butches Bore Shine since I think it does a good job with carbon and copper.

The last Krieger I broke in (chrome-moly, not stainless) was the most epic slog of a barrel break-in I've ever been through. I think I went through a half gallon of copper solvent before that barrel broke in right. KG-12 is great for dealing with tough barrel break-ins.
