Wow. You expanded his four cryptic words into thirtynine. And all I needed was a "yes" or a "no".

I'm not saying JB is not helpful but be judicious in its use.

I was just discussing this situation with Casey of PacNor barrels. He said: "JB contains pumice. Applied long enough, and hard enough, JB will polish the bore out to almost a mirror finish. That kind of finish will actually grab copper like a mutha'. You don't want a mirror finish.

For copper, we use Holland's witches brew. It contains small amounts of aluminum oxide, which is what we use to lap barrels."

There is a product called Warthog. The makers claim is works better than Sweets on copper. I haven't tried it, but others have, with success.

Boss, second the Witches Brew

Fellas....this thread was last posted to on June 8th, 2008.......I think he probably has barrel cleaning down by now.

Yet the debate still rages, which is interesting

For years I worked with guns that
Shot solid copper bullets and if you didn't do it . Ten rounds and you had spend hours removeng copper. Majority of the problem was in the chambers . It's hard to send a gun that price was $40,000 plus back . JB and many strokes sure helped . Larry

Via Hawkeye, found that allowable round counts went up 10 X, bare vs properly moly-coated, using solid copper Barnes X. Never experienced any of the moly-related untoward effects often described, which I think based on personal experience are hysteria and old wives tales
