Have any recommendations for dedicated copper solvent? All I use is Hoppes #9. I share the same opinion with you, the snake doesn't completely clean everything but my gun shoots well nonetheless. I bought rods & brushes weeks ago and finally used them the other day. Was kind of afraid the brushes would screw up the rifling though, it was a tight fit the first time. I use the snake first then run the brush & patches until it's not dirty anymore.
