Kg-12

[MEHavey]

I'm putting this here because I tried it on my Garand first, but it applies across the board.

My Garand -- with a spotless bore -- is a copper hound when it comes to HXP ammo. In the past I had settled on Butch's BoreShine (having gone through Hoppe's Special, Shooter's Choice Copper Remover, Sweet's, Montana Extreem Copper Remover, MPro7 copper remover, multiple "copper-cleaning" foam cleaners, etc). An application of Butch's *always* came out indicating heavy blue after using these other cleaners.

Used alone (or after using MPro-7 powder solvent to get the regular fouling out), Butch's would come out *incredibly" blue, royal blue to the point that nearby shooters would go "Wow!" and ask how it was shooting with all that copper fouling. I'd show them the target in which it would inevitably hold a 99-100 6-8X off the bench even with Greek ammo. So Butch's was really finding what in other gun's would be a "so-what?" level of copper fouling.

But even with Butch's it would take 4-5 applications/soakings/scrubbings to get all the color out.

So after 20 rounds yesterday I just put one Butch's patch down the bore and cleaned up w/ Breakfree so as to deliberately leave copper. And today the KG-12 arrived in the mail.

I hauled the Garand out and ran a sloppy patch's-worth of KG-12 (water-based/no smell) to wet the bore, then used the same patch to scrub maybe 15-20 seconds,... and let it sit for 8-9 minutes. Dry patch/scrub-out and then a sloppy patch of Butch's to test the results after a 15-minute soak.

No color, nada, nunka, not a thing ….where normally Butch's would still be indicating considerable color.

I'm sold.
