HOPPE'S SOLVENT RINGS THE BELL ONCE AGAIN

[Rustyt1953]

If there was a men's cologne that smelled like Hoppe's #9, I'd buy it...

I'm a huge G96 fan. Their product line is amazing and has no gaps.

I use their CLP exclusively. Smells good and cleans great . For copper removal I use something like Sweets or Montana X-Treme Copper Killer .

I've used Hoppe's No.9 for my entire shooting life. As many have mentioned, it does a great job on about everything but copper, and there are other products for that. I just wanted to pass on a tip regarding bore cleaning. I now take my cleaning stuff to the range. When I finish with a particular rifle, I'll swab to bore while the barrel is still heated up from shooting. I'll wipe off any excess and case it for the trip home. After I get home, I'll finish the cleaning. It gives the benefit of the solvent working on a warm barrel, which I think speeds up the solvent cutting the crud. Also, less smell when get home, so the wife is happier.

My wife cannot stand the odor of Hoppes solvents. I think it smells great, she leaves the room.

I used it for decades, and it works great but I started having issues with its toxicity. I switched to a non-toxic product. It works for me.

I never cared for CLP as a "C". Great for the "L" and the "P".

Long ago, exhausted from a 300 mile round trip and 4 long range matches in one hot afternoon I was faced with trying to clean my rifle. After 104 rounds, the bore was well coppered. I can't recall if I did the 20 passes with Hoppes & brush or just saturated the bore with a patch and went to bed.

The next morning, I was dreading the scrubbing I was about to do. Lo and behold, there was no copper in the bore! Beat the dickens out of what I'd been doing before and yes, that include using Sweets.

In addition to cologne and air freshener…

The problem with Hopes #9 and 3 in 1 oil is the fragrance attracts women.
I shower after cleaning my guns and before going out. It can be kinda embarrassing.
