Hi all,
I don't do much in the way of shotties, and am wondering what cleaning fluid/s are mostly used or recommended.
In my cleaning drawer I have, Sweets 7.62, Hoppes No 9, and (KG-12 which I've never used)
It would seem they all have draw backs.
1) KG-12 eats bronze, but is apparently good for removing copper. (not a problem in shotties)
2) Hoppes No 9 isn't apparently very friendly to Nickel plating, but does say it's good for lead fouling.
3) Sweets 7.62 is ammonia based but good for copper fouling, but again not problem in shotties.
I use sweets in all my center fires, but not much point in using it in the shottie.
What does the simple "clean/remove lead" without side effects for shotguns ??
