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.

Still use it still love it. C2r and 3in1 machine oil. That's my cleaning kit.

Still using it but not in my No4

Works very well.

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

Yep, as above!

Used it on my .222 this week to prepare for some cast boolit shooting

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

Gaz

I don't use anything else...why would you?

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.
