I was looking for something in the cabinets today and came across 2 cans of Wipe-Out Bore Cleaner. One can was new and the other one I had already started using. Since I haven't seen these in awhile I read the label again. One of the items it mentions it cleans is "Black Powder Fouling".

I do remember the first time I used it. I used it on a rifle I already thought I had cleaned the barrel. After using this I found it was not the case. So I thought I would try it out on my Sharps.
The active ingredients are:
1. Butylcellosolve (Glycol Ether) - http://www.dow.com/en-us/markets-and-solutions/products/cellosolvesolvent/butylcellosolvesolvent/
2. Alcohols
3. Water
Many of you gave me a lot of good recommendations when I ask how to clean my Sharps barrel. The process I'm using is the Ballistol and water. After a day at the range, I cleaned the barrel before I left the range.
After using the Wipe-Out, I happy to report my cleaning efforts at the range were great. A clean patch came out after the barrel was soaked for about an hour with the Wipe-Out.
The Ballistol solution I use is much cheaper than the Wipe Out. Ballistol runs about $16 and up for a 16 oz can. Where Wipe-Out runs about $11 and up for a 5 oz can.
The Wipe-Out is a good product which I have used many times in the past and may use it in the future. However the Ballistol solution for me is much more cost effective, easier and quicker to use.
