The boretech eliminators ability to show you how much copper is coming out is it's second most important ability, you build up a picture over time of your barrels copper fouling and it's 'running in' process.
Using a cleaner that can't show you how much copper is in there/being removed leaves you guessing. Or at best relying on how much copper you can 'see'
You can't tell how thick the remaining copper is, you can only see it's surface.
Copper wash is of obvious thickness, copper streaks on top of the lands also, but streaks in the lands up in the corners are always of unknown buildup thickness.
Deep blue patches show that very heavy deposits are being removed and depending on round count between cleanings can indicate a heavy fouling barrel and a source of inaccuracy until run in. Lighter blue and your starting to get somewhere.
Sure KG is slightly faster, perhaps 2 patches faster on a medium fouled barrel, but it hasn't told you what's going on with your rifle that you might be tuning for ultimate accuracy.
Then when you get no blue at all dry that barrel out and lube with a fine film of kroil or other penetrating oil, and you are good to go.
