Has anyone on here used break free powder blast to clean their rifle barrel? How good of a job did it do at removing the fouling from you’re barrel?
Which bore cleaner do you recommend? I bought a new rifle that hasn’t been shot yet and I have been cleaning the barrel with hoppe’s #9 but regardless of how many times I clean the barrel my patches come out dirty when I run hoppe’s #9 through the barrel using a bore brush.It's really effective for removing not-so-stubborn carbon/discharge fouling from areas it might be difficult to access physically. I had never thought about using it as a bore cleaner, but I suppose it would work pretty well as a first step.
It doesn't seem to be good at removing the really stubborn fouling that is caked/baked on, but it might soften it up a little and make it easier to remove for a little bit--at least until it evaporates. It evaporates pretty rapidly.
It's not going to do anything at all to remove jacket fouling or leading.
