Gunslick foaming bore cleaner. Spray it in, wait 30 min, run a brush over it a few times, wet patch, dry patch, oil patch, done.

Bore Tech Inc. C4 Carbon remover and their C4+2 Copper remover along with their Chameleon Gel. I have used for the last 20 year Shooters Choice MC#7 bore cleaner and their Copper remover, this stuff above even removed what the Shooter Choice left in the barrel on tough jobs.
Barnes CR10 is also very good but strong ammonia smell as well as Sweet's, both can not be left in the barrel!

Wipe-Out has been good for me also

...I like Wipe-Out or Outers Foam, but this is one of the best bore cleaners I've seen...

Does anyone rate: Tetra-Gun, Butch's Bore Shine or Pro Shot copper solvent?
I'd be interested to know views on these.

I have used gallons of Butch's Bore Shine. I use this on customers' rifles. My rationale was that this was relatively simple and effective. Owners would be more likely to use this than a multi-solvent system.

I know the cleaners I listed work with varying degrees of effectiveness & Butch's has always been my 'go-to' choice Mike, but are there more effective cleaners out there that require less effort?
Personally I've never seen 'Wipeout' on a store shelf in the UK -
I have seen Forest Foam which I guess is similar, but it's pretty expensive.
My own routine is to put a meths soaked patch through the bore after cleaning, just to make sure the Butch's is gone, then another patch with oil to preserve until next required. Another meths patch clears the oil & then I'm ready to go hunting.
Incidentally these new felt cleaning pads are hitting the market here - the propaganda says they're very effective, - if rather pricey. I haven't tried them yet, but I will.

Just cleaned my Vanguard with Wipeout and the patches came out tan coloured. Ran some Carb-Out through and still some tan. Any ideas?
