Thread: The best bar none bore cleaner!

Long time ago I had some Wipeout and since then have continued to use bore foam for cleaning. Haven't seen any Wipeout since in NZ.
In tests, Wipeout was the best of the bore foams. They also market an accelerator for it, have you used that also @southernman ?

Another one I used, and I cannot remember the brand except it was made in Scandinavia somewhere. I looked up the associated website and found it was the same stuff used for cleaning large artillery pieces - they pumped it thru the barrel somehow.

Like I said I have used foam for years. When I get home from an outing the first thing I do is fill the barrel with foam. Then I unload the rest of the junk, have a coffee, then return to the gun cleaning. I use a very stiff nylon brush (IOSSO) several passes out of the muzzle, unscrew brush, pull rod back, brush thru again. I then blast the barrel out with Brakleen from the chamber end. Sometimes I put some Boretech Cu solvent in but very rarely do I see any signs after the foam clean. It seems to be just too good to be true, plus you are not scrubbing, scrubbing, scrubbing the shitter out of the barrel. Have also found that 1st shot performance is not way out of group.
