Re: Cleaning double rifles

Quote:
General consensus seems to be pointing to Wipe-out - I think I'll have to go out and buy a can to try myself.
I've also recently stopped using bronze brushes and started with nylon instead (for the powder fouling using Hoppes). Actually this came about because, apparantly, bronze brushes will cause the CeraKoat to eventually come out of the bore. But I now think bronze brushes are probably too harsh for any bore. Opinions?
(Maybe this thread doesn't entirely belong in the double rifle section alone?)
Fristly, Wipe out Foam bore cleaner in a can is no longer available. It is now called Wipe Out PATCH OUT and is a liquid in a bottle. Wipe Out PATCH OUT liquid is STRONGER than the foam bore cleaner.
I only went to using Nylon brushes because you can't use Copper OR brass brushes with Wipe out or Wipe Out PATCH OUT
for obvious reasons.
However I still sometimes use them when using Hoppe's Powder solvent or my powder solvent as I see no harm in using brass brushes as they are unlikely to damage a steel bore.
CeraKoat on the other hand, I could well believe it could scrub off a coating of it.
Just my HO.
Edit
One more thing i have notice re Wipe Out PATCH OUT. Because it is Stronger than the foam, I have found that you need to use less of it.
I would be interested to know of other people's opinion in regards to this.
