Hoppe's #9 has a place in anyones cleaning box. Want your first shot from a "clean", cold barrel to land in the group? Use #9 before you shoot! Most of us clean and oil a bore when putting a firearm away. That leaves a film of contamination (the oil) in the bore and it produces flyers until it is gone, frequently taking more than one shot to remove.

IF we first swab the bore with a patch wet of #9 it will cut and remove that thin film of oil pretty well. Follow the wet patch with 2-3 tight dry patches to obtain a bore dry and clean enough for the first shot to go where it's supposed to.
