what is the forums thaughts on this stuff? i use a brand that turns purple when it starts to work. when i look at the barrel from the bore scope it is copper free after cleaning. i use that first and then run a brush through it. then i start using wet/dry patches until they come out clean. as everybody else i use a bore giude on every gun. i was just wondering if i was the only one who uses it. i also use a boresnake at the range to give it a range cleaning between rounds.

i didn't want to mention the name cause i didn't want to look like a boob, but i like it alot myself. i use a brush one time to be safe and then just hoppes and patches. at the range i send a bore snake down it several times to kinda clean some fowling out, but to leave some as well. my rifles normally shoot better after a few fowling rounds. if i leave some in it it will go right back to driving nails. i'll use 1 sighter and back at it again.

I'm kind of in and out of the foaming bore cleaner camp. Straight-up WipeOut works... but is slower than a seven year itch and not the most effective on carbon fouling. Plus I seem to get spurts of foam everywhere - even with tubes, extensions, etc. I get backpressure 'burps' of the stuff out the end of my bore guide, which is messy and annoying. It certainly takes longer than cleaning with harsher chemicals,like Sweets)... but it doesn't stink up the whole room neither 
CarbOut takes care of the carbon issues - couple wet patches, some soaking, no problems. Chase it with some Accelerator to flush out the CarbOut and lead the way for some WipeOut PatchOut... and life is good. Faster/more effective for me than the original pure foam cleaner,as it should be, since the thick stuff gets knocked down before the PatchOut goes in), and no annoying foam mess.
