I've used another Brand (Outers I think) and it worked pretty well. Probably very similar (chemically) to Hoppes but don't know for sure. I only use it once in a while and on firearms that get shot only with Copper. I find Copper much harder to remove than Lead.
The Hoppes spray works well, but be sure to let it work and drain with the muzzle down. Otherwise everything in solution winds up in the action and trigger assembly.
Oh, and don't use the kitchen table unless you're single and living alone.
