Hi guys,

I recently bought a bottle of Hoppes no 9 to clean my rifle barrels. I thought it was a copper solvent as well, but apparently not (according to some friends). But today some of my patches came out with a little bit of blue on them which is usually a sign of copper removal.

So my question: does a standard bottle of hoppes no 9 remove copper or not? Or is there a specific hoppes product for copper removal?

I don't soak my barrel in hoppes. Should I?
