Bore Cleaner

There is a version on this site of Ed’s red being mixed up for copper fouling using ammonia. Haven’t seen it for a few month’s now.

Ed's Red works great.
But I now use Wipe Out foam.
So much easier, and it will remove copper.

I have some copper cleaners , but for most I use ed's red , mostly shooting cast . In the semi auto rifles with jacketed I use ed's red and only go to the copper removers like Sweets or old bottle of Hoppes when I feel accuracy has dropped off or to clean a new/used purchase .

Just use Ed's Red. Why try to reinvent it. Works well for all bore cleaning. For black
powder use water first then Ed's Red.

My uncle would make Ed's Red by the gallon and that was when I was eight. I still make it the same way and have no complaints. Cheap too.

Still using on a gallon of Ed's Red I made up years ago. Even on my heaviest copper foulers, they get Ed's Red first to get out most of the carbon before I attack the copper. I always hit them with Ed's Red after the copper removers before they go back in the safe.

BROWNELLS sells ED’S RED but I haven’t tried it

I still use hoppes 9 for rifle/copper and ballistol for general cleaning

Considering the buffalo hunters use to pee down their barrels to clean them, just about any kind mild solvent or acid will do the job. I spray a little AeroKroil down the barrel before I even leave the range. I call it my pre-clean, Barrel is still warm, so anything in the barrel hasn't cooled off. By the time I get home, everything in the barrel has been getting loosened up by the Kroil. Not sure, but maybe PD Blaster would do the same. Just about any solvent will get the rest out.
