wrightdHave you guys ever used "Wipe-Out" bore cleaner ?
Have you guys ever used "Wipe-Out" bore cleaner ?
https://sharpshootr.com/wipe-out/I used to try all sorts of bore cleaners when I used to shoot heavily all sorts of things, but I never used this.
Funny these days I've gone back to the good old standard, Hoppes 9, since I no longer shoot things that deposit copper in the bore. Interesting how you return to your roots in certain aspects of life.
So is or was this a miracle foamer type product, or just not better than all the others ?

mrvmaxI use it, some people claim it will ruin barrels if left it too long (overnight), mixed with other cleaners or not cleaned out of the barrel. I have never had an issue and I use it with heavily fouled barrels.
I have tried so many cleaners I could not even name them all. Unless I am dealing with heavy copper or lead fouling I use MPro 7 or 50/50 mix of Hoppes and Kroil.
BTW, it does work. Is it better than all the rest? Maybe better than most I have used but I cannot say it is the best out of everything I use.

wrightdThanks. Exactly right, I didn't mean the best for everything, just general bore cleaning. I don't shoot much stuff that creates copper fouling these days.

KMitch200I use it. Wipeout with their Accelerator, especially for barrel break in. (Much faster)
Also Midway usually has both in stock.
For general upkeep I use Boretech but for a deep clean Wipe-Out and the Accelerator is great.

mesabiI've used it for years. Usually run a soaked patch on a Dewey or Parker Hale cleaning jag, followed by another soaked patch, and let it sit overnight if the barrel is somewhat heavily fouled and finish up with a dry patch and CLP. No nasty chemical smells or harm to stick finishes. I've confirmed with a bore scope that there's no harm to barrels when left in the bore for a day or two.
