C2R

#1 Post by Chapuis »

I haven't heard much mention of C2R bore cleaner recently. Is anyone still using it or am I the only one?
If you are using it how are you finding it. What has been the results of long term testing.

Yep still using it occasionally.

I only use it to get that awful copper out of a barrel, once done my rifles only ever shoot cast so fouling isn't a problem therefore cleaning isn't necessary any more.

But when I get a rifle abused by having those awful jacketed bullets put through it then C2R is my only cleaner, a little goes a long way.

I use it when I clean but my cleaning interval in my 308 is about 250+ rounds before accuracy drops from but holes to about an inch. At that stage c2r comes out and so does all the carbon fouling which is what I find the problem is not copper

Yup, still using it when I want to do a really thorough clean.

I use it exclusively (Rather obviously!) and find C2R to be a bit of an anticlimax, I use it, give the rifle a good wipe down and stick it back in the cabinet, job done, I can even predict how many patches I will need for the job. We clean a fair few rifles here and one thing I have noticed is C2R can be used quite sparingly and the bottle seems to last forever.
