Copper fouling does not seem to be a problem here from my hand guns to my .22 magnum

My .22-250 is another story though as the copper can build up shooting those 55gr pills at over 3,500fps...I use the Hoppes Bench rest #9 copper solvent but hear that the Barnes products work better.
Someone will probably follow up on this.

Without regret, I use Birchwood Casey Bore Scrubber 2-in-1 Cleaner 5oz. Gel/Foam Aerosol.  Cheap, simple, easy.
