cockercas Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 Take a look in general shooting matters for the 17hmr cleaning thread. I dont use a hmr , but i do use hoppes 009 followed by forrest bore foam. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't need a specialist copper solvent in a HMR due to speed and heat being quite low. Hoppes, bore foam, butches etc will all do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiLisCer Posted March 24, 2013 Report Share Posted March 24, 2013 (edited) Google the new stuff from Tim Stewart (Current F/TR European champion) it is called C2R - it works even on barrels cleaned by 009 and the other stuff - it still drags out copper and carbon like you would not believe.

Mike I'll second that - C2R is a new generation of barrel cleaner. I used it on what I thought was a clean barrel and was amazed at the amount of copper and crud if shifted.

cal 7888 Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 By C2R do you mean the Boretech stuff? if so its really good stuff! i use the bore cleaner on my .17 HMR and that gets all the copper and carbon fouling out! it is a copper indicator aswell so you can see on the patch when its all clear! also can be left in the barrel as a preservative and will not eat the bore like the 009 and other makes, which need a neutraliser to make it safe!! cal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
