Top Bore Cleaners: What Works Best for You?

[Alan]

I'm curious about bore cleaners that really make a difference. What do you use and why? I've tried a few brands, but I'm always looking for something that can cut through the grime and keep the barrel pristine.

try Gunzillia, military uses it, and yes, it will remove plastic fouling in shotguns Hoppes # 9 used to be my standard but they changed the formula awhile back, doesn't work as well as the original. Heavy metallic fouling- Sweets was our standard back in the day. Lead Out- no explanation needed. If leading or metallic is really bad I will set up and use electrolysis system.

Still using CLP for everything, just like the Gunny taught me.

I have a cz 527 in 204 ruger,that has over 2000 rounds and shoots lights out. This gun has never seen a brush and I have only used the ottis pull thru cable cleaner with patches only. It has only seen foaming bore cleaner. Spray down the bore let sit on a folded paper towel muzzle down over night. In the morning the paper towel has enough blue on it you would think someone broke a ink pen. foaming bore cleaner is all I use now on my long guns, no brush just patches.
I will use any brand of foam and have not noticed and different brand working better than any other.
