I like it in the rifles and the reason I like it is when one of my rifles was shooting crappy I decided to try this from a recommendation of a local gunsmith. I thought I had been cleaning the rifle but this stuff got all kinds of crap out of it. Did it fix the accuracy problem? No. Found out it was picky about ammo. However, it did get it a lot cleaner than I had ever gotten it. Sometimes I use this and sometimes Hoppes 9 but I think it works fairly well.

I just didn't know if it would remove the black powder as well that's why I was asking. I always used the soap and water method on my old muzzle loader but have used this when I cleaned my new one. I guess I'm using it this time too. Not sure what I will try next. It's just what I have on hand and easier than soap and water but it does cost a bit more.

I'm not sure about this stuff now though as they changed the bottles slightly and you can tell it's a different product. It smells differently and just feels differently on my hands. I'm not sure what they changed so I hope this new bottle works as well as the last ones I've used.

I can't say this stuff is the best or anywhere near it just that I like it about the best out of what I've used. Although once or twice I've gotten a few things out with Hoppes 9 that this seemed to miss but other times I like this stuff better. Especially if you let it sit a bit.


Should I give the Cowboy cleaning stuff a try that you guys seem to like? Or what's the best product to try out next?
