Wipe-Out Brushless Bore Cleaner

[Forum Boss]

I use WipeOut and it has worked very, very well for me. My procedure starts with 4-5 soaking wet patches with solvent of your choice (I typically use Shooters Choice). The idea is to get the "black stuff" out of the barrel to let the Wipeout get to the metal.

Then I fill the bore from the breech (using a bore guide) until just a little foam appears at the muzzle.

IMPORTANT: After application ONE I wait 20 minutes for the foam to dissipate and liquify. Then I apply a second time, just as before. After application TWO, I plug the breech, tape the muzzle, put the rifle in an Airglide case and drive home. After a couple hours I patch out and the gun is ready to shoot. I don't oil the bore after application unless I'm not shooting the gun for a long time.

On some of my rifles with a rougher bore, I may use nylon brushes. But with my best barrels (one Brux, one Krieger, one Pac-Nor) I rarely if ever brush.

I have used the accelerator and patch out I think it worked fine, I liked no smell or clean smell..I used it for a while with the idea of cleaning with out brushing..I pefer to use different cleaners as I feel I need..I use lot's of butches and a good bore brush and ton's of patches...If you just want to try something..I have used Bore Tech eliminator recently and was impressed with it and I used the Bore Tech carbon cleaner also..So I like to have a array of cleaners on hand. I always Kroil Oil my Bores after clean..

I am a Butches guy, but got some Wipe-out after a PD hunt. I had a barrel that was basically toast so I tried it first on it. I was well pleased with it. Squirt in, wait overnight, patch out, repeat. In the end I dry patched and followed with butches and a brush to see if I missed any. Not much! Only thing to be careful of is it will take off oil and shellac type finishes, and it gets messy.

I store my gun with Kroil/graphite in it. When I get to the range, I patch out the Kroil and run a Lock EZ patch thru the bore, let it sit for a while, then a dry patch to take out any liquid. When I'm done shooting (35+ rounds of 6BR at 3300 fps) I will run a Kroil soaked patch thru the bore and give it a minute. Then I run a brass brush with Kroil thru the bore in both directions about 2-3 times. Then I patch that out and run a couple of Bore Tech soaked patches thru the bore and let it sit overnight. The following day, I run a dry patch thru and get ONE blue patch, then run more Bore Tech thru the bore and let it sit for about 15-20 minutes. I use a nylon bore brush for 5-10 passes, dry patch that out, and no more blue. Then I dry the bore and use my Kroil/graphite on it for storage.
I've tried Wipe Out/Accelerator, Sweets, Shooter's Choice, Toms(?), and who knows what else. I've found that - FOR ME - the Bore Tech is superior to all those others, even tho they are still in my range box. I've use the Bore Tech on some fellows' guns that they thought were clean and found out they weren't. YMMV
