Help! I just bought item U30 from Hoppe's, a cleaning kit for .30, 30-.06, .380,. etc. because the store owner said this is for my 7.62x39mm Ruger Mini 30.
I called Hoppe's itself and they said, "No, use item U270 cleaning kit for .270, 7mm, .280.
I called six gun stores from Ca. to Ak. and all said, "No, we've been selling the .30 kit for that gun for the last 10 years..."
So, which one is it? Does Hoppe's recommend correct but everyone uses .30 cal for more scrubbing or surface coverage?
Just don't want to damage my gun and would appreciate a 100% certain history lesson.
