Top Bore Cleaners for Every Shooter: Recommendations Needed

[Alan]

What are your recommendations for bore cleaners? I've tried a few but still haven't found one that consistently meets my expectations. Would love to hear about what you all use and why.

I've had the best luck with Hoppe's No. 9 for routine cleans, Break Free CLP for all-around, and Ballistol for storage and for heavy copper, Shooter's Choice does the trick

It depends on what I am cleaning ? Rifle bores with copper fowling the form cleaners, Brush Out or all the copy's work great, pistols, shotguns, muzzle-loaders Ballistol, I do use CLP for rust and 4 00 steel wool, for heavy cleaning. For something that's stuck and won't move Kroil but it stinks to high heaven, but it will come out if you let it seat. Same with Shooters Choice a heavy cleaner.

Ballistol. Occasionally Wilson bore cleaner. Need anything else it's off to the gunsmith.
