Regular Blue with Ammonia is the best - IMO. I have been using this for many years and it work well a metal scrubber and evaporates fast carring water vapor with it.

Here is a quote from Dan Lilja

Dan Lilja of Lilja Precision Rifle barrels has never seen any damage in one of his barrels caused by the use of ammonia. Dan writes: "The rumor is that copper-removing cleaners with ammonia will pit and damage the interior surface of a barrel. Ammonia is very effective as a copper remover. We use solvents, such as Butch's Bore Shine, to remove copper during the break-in. We routinely leave Butch's solution in the barrel over night too. Again, I repeat, we have never seen a problem with ammonia in the concentrations found in commercial cleaners, in either our chrome-moly or stainless steel barrels. This includes examination with our borescope."


so.. That, a handful of patches, your jag, and a small "to go" bottle Windex (yes, with ammonia) is a very good bore cleaner.
