Cleaning copper out of bore?

Hi Guys, I am wondering if any of the readers have used a product called Wipeout supposedly it is a great foam bore cleaner and once used you will never use anything else.
I have not put a lot of rounds through the 204 yet but in a couple of weeks I hope to put a serious dent in the gopher population at my sister's farm. If you guys respond that would be great!

Wipe-out is just what I was going to suggest, anything to lessen the number of bore strokes with a rod is a GOOD thing! Don't forget the Accelerator, too.

Works great for copper and copper only. I have many people using it and loving it.

Wipe out is good stuff for copper. I would suggest cleaning the carbon out first with a mild solvent and brush. Dry the bore and foam it.

Wipe Out is great stuff. I put a couple patches of Montana Extreme solvent down the bore first followed by a dry patch or two.

I agree with the Wipe out, BUT get the "liquid" Wipe out and Accelator. I've used the foam, but you waste way more than you use. The liquid works really good, and it goes a long way. Like the others, I have used Montana Extreme, Butches, etc before the Wipe out.

Wipe-Out works great on copper but does not do a thorough job on carbon. I was sold for a while but I am back to a dedicated carbon cleaner and a bronze brush. I use Mercury Power Clean, but there are others that work just as well. Once the carbon is out that is on top of the copper I use the Wipe-Out. There will still be more carbon after the Wipe-Out has done its thing. Just depends how clean you want it to be.

I am also leaning towards an electric cleaner - using a steel rod, a cleaner, and a small DC voltage - drives the particles, magnetically, to the steel rod.

I use these on milsurp rifles and the results are astounding.
