Yeah, I've had the brown residue left over from boretech. Its brilliant for removing copper fouling. As the makers say, its not rust.
I flush the barrel with meths after now, just to flush all the crap out. Now longer see the residue.

I use Autosol very sparingly and then only to remove the carbon ring I get just fwd of the chamber when I use W760 powder. That black mark you get on the patch for ever and ever when cleaning with Autosol is parent metal from your bore. I would generally use JB's first b4 Autosol.Quote:

When using it I had to get the borescope out and check all of the time. Then one of the plastic bottles sprung a wee leak at its base and drained itself into the bottom of the gun cupboard. Fark all gone. I reverted to Boretech Eleminator and Cu solvent, and use them along side bore foam. Neutralise any of them before going to a different type using either meths or CRC Brakleen and never store the guns with solvent in them despite what the manufacturers say.
I got same problem same rifle (a Howa heavy barrel in .308) only 2 or 3 spots inside the action , brand new gun, i freak out but i'm calm now ;) removed those spots with my finger , after this experience i dry the bore and the action before storage and i get thru with a patch of WD40 waiting for a bottle of Eezox .Quote:

I use a rod guide so I don't drip it into the action. I'm too clumsy to use the oil port on the guide, just pop an oiled patch on the pointy jag. I only use a pull through in the hills and then just protective oil not powder or copper solvent.Quote:

I dry patch the boretech out then use a preserving oil and dry patch that out too. The thin film of oil saves the bore rusting and I can shoot straight through it.
Thanks all for your feedback... i chose the Eliminator as the store person raved about it - seems I chose well - as I later discovered - rightly or wrongly - that Ammonia-based solvents can't be used in stainless steel due to etching...??
