RE: Cleaning tips

Anybody use the Otis Bore Solvent? They say it cleans/lubricates and protects all in one shot... Too good to be true?

I believe that cleaning and lubricating are two separate animals. A solvent that cleans and lubes may get powder fouling but won't get copper fouling. Likewise, a good copper cleaner will not lube your bore.
If you are keeping good accuracy, keep cleaning with a powder remover. When accuracy degrades start using your more aggresive copper removers like Barnes CR-10. For a complete copper or lead cleaning I like Outers Foul Out system.
