hi all,just wondering how often to de copper a barrel on a .17 hmr,and what is best used for the job?

 

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

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.

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.

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!!
