Its interesting how everyone has their own BEST. I have two cans of Kroil and I can't ever see it does a damn thing.
It's about impossible to try everything. What would be fun and interesting if someone would do an actual test and video it with the results. I really wonder if folks would want to watch? I saw a Youtube years ago in which a fellow who does a lot of different tests tested several bore cleaners on copper. He scratched copper onto a steel plate then applied several of the well known solvents on the scratches. I'll bet people who believe in Butche"s still would keep using it
Without a borescope, it's impossible to tell so lets get that out there.
What does work quickly is RemClean, like right now. I've noticed a similar product advertised; some kind of System I think. It likely works Right Now too. Lots of discussion over the years about using various kinds on non imbedding pumice materials. They work. How much do they harm is the question.
Years ago I think it was Mickey Coleman who advocated steel wool on a brush with solvent. for carbon. I've done that and it works. Our barrels wear a bit with every shot we push through them. The questions becomes how clean, how much is enough and how much work do we want to do?
The solvents with ammonia in them etch barrels; proven. How much does that harm them? Does it harm them?
