I use WipeOut.

I use electronic if it is really bad. Other than that Hoppes works for me.

Holland's Witches Brew is the most effective copper fouling remover I have ever seen. Follow the directions and a little elbow grease and you will see the difference.

I use it in my .17 Remington and it makes an impressive difference.

I'm another sweets 762 guy. I havent used to many others, but I used it and it worked. Will probably last me a long time. I dont use it but a few times a year.

I've had good luck with the KG stuff. It's not magic, but does work. KG12 bore cleaner along with KG2 bore polish does a super job.

I bought some KG 12 based on this thread. It has not impressed me yet. It is much slower than Montana Extreme.

How are you determining that there's copper left after the KG-12? (Remember, it doesn't turn blue -- just brown crud comes out after a 5-minute soak/then dry patch.)

I will get some ME, however, and run the bullet weight-loss test between it and KG12. (Inquiring minds want to know !)

M-Pro 7 Copper have been pretty good to me.

I can see the copper with a bore scope. I think the KG12 will be wonderful for rifles I am not in a hurry to clean. Put it in, let it set overnight, put it in let it set all day, etc. etc. When I need it clean in 20 min. Montana extreme seems to fill the bill much better. The KG-12 gets all the copper, just not very quickly.
