Greetings from ChiefDave.

A thank you , for a great product. (WIPE-OUT) bore cleaner. I am a rifle builder and shooter , mainly rimfire semiautos. I have been using Wipe-Out for about 3 years. Recently I shot a world record target with a Volquartsen actioned 10-17HMR semi-auto .
The group was scored at .059" 5 shots @ 100 yds. I attribute the accuracy of this rifle , mainly to the bore quality.
The credit must also go to the cleaning chemicals (Wipe-Out) to have made this possible. 

I also frequent a web-site " RIMFIRE CENTRAL " where I endorse and encourage others to buy this amazing product.

I hope you don't object.
Sincerely . Chief Dave

================================================================================================

 Dear Dave:
 I was wondering if you might be able to get me a picture of you, your rifle  and your target.........plus the particulars where the record was shot. I
 would like to post the information and your comments on my web site. Please let  me know your thoughts.
 Best regards,

Terry Paul
==========================================================================================
Chief Says : I would be honored to have my pics on your site. 2 of of 3 not bad. I dont take very good pics , so how about
the gun and target ? Volquartsen LTD has the target posted on their site also. The site I frequent the most Rimfire Central , is strictly a small cal.
site deticated to the 10-22 Ruger. Many members there have became aware of "Wipe-out" and are amazed at the product. It no doubt is only
a small site , but good products , like yours doesn't take long to gain respect throughout the world. I remember the first time I saw a friend
use it . I thought "'Yea ! sure ! nothins gonna beat my rod and patches and elbow exercise." I was terribly wrong.
So , like many , when I find something that really works , Cant keep mouth shut very long. Pics will follow.
Thank You : Chief Dave - Dave Snow.

p.s. The gun was fitted with a different stock (shown) soon after the record target was shot. compliments of McMillan Bros. fiberglass stocks.
thanks Chief Dave

TO THOSE OF YOU WHO TOOK THE TIME TO SHARE WITH US THE RESULTS YOU HAD USING WIPE-OUT

Terry,,,,, Have used your product extensively and I am amazed how it cleans copper out

of a barrel....Two new Kriegers came clean with amazing speed with a high grade bore scope

check. A worn match grade barrel cleans equally fast and indeed way past what I thought

was clean....1000 yd accuracy the best yet, and I was ready to replace the barrel! 

A new Sendero stainless barrel has had fast removal of copper.  The accelerator made a

difference I could see.    Yes, I let it soak overnight  each time with repeats. Got to the

bottom of the carbon without a final bronze brush, but then it DID come out!  

Great product, especially for the biggest problem in barrel break-in, copper.    

Regards, Bingo,,, Outdoor Specialties.

does not normally get removed by cleaning.   Does your product remove it all? (YES WE REMOVE IT ALL)

Please Email me with info on my order.......I have a lot more rifles to clean.

Mr. Paul

It seems that the area I am having a difficult time getting is that last 1 - 2 inches of the muzzle. I may be wrong but that

it my impression.

I will tell you that I cleaned a .308 that we had never been able to get really clean. The owner named this rifle

"Filthy Mc Dirty" because he could not get it clean. This rifle has had at least four thousand rounds through it.
I used Wipe-Out on it and after a single 24 hour session and about 4 - 5 two hour sessions it was clean!

Thanks

Paul

Terry:
Thanks for shipping the Wipe-out so promptly. So far I have just used Wipe-out on one of my rifles -- a lever action

Marlin 1895 CB in .45-70. It worked just fine on that rifle. The gun had a bit of fouling in it, so I filled up the bore with

the Wipe-Out a couple of times over a 24-hour period to get the fouling out. The copper fouling dissolved and came out

with no trouble. The powder residue (which appeared black) did  dissolve quite as easily. After filling up the bore those

two times, the black residue was still coming out on the patches that I pushed through the bore with a cleaning jag.

It appeared to be a little sticky. (Maybe the residue gets sticky when the Wipe-out dries out in the bore a bit.)

I was afraid I was going to have to brush the bore to get it out, but after I filled up the bore a third time with it,

and then pushed a couple of lightly-oiled patches through, all the black stuff seemed to have come out .
So far, the Wipe-out seems to be a genuine advance over the products requiring a lot of brushing, and over the products

which can etch the bore. I will use it next on my badly copper-fouled 30-30, on my Model 70 .300 Win Mag, and on my

older Model 70 .30-06. If it cleans all those well without the use of a brush, I will be convinced.

Wipe Out critical evaluation.
07/27/02 09:26 AM Edit Reply

The relatively new product Wipe Out was ordered in June. Due to the supplier losing the order, I had to reorder and

received it a couple of days ago.

Pauls company, by way of excuse, E-mailed saying they were really "behind the 8 ball with orders".

That was supposed to mean that they were swamped!

I used the WipeOut on a 1953 Mauser 25-06 that is still in excellent condition and hasn't had an excessive number of

rounds fired over it's life.

The rifle was diligently cleaned previously with:

#1. Hoppe's Benchrest 9 copper solvent.
#2. Barnes CS 10
#3. Sweet's 7.62 slovent
#4. JB non-embedding bore cleaner.

I applied the Wipe Out as per instruction after setting the rifle up in an Uncle Mikes butterfly sand bag to hold it steady.

I lowered the muzzle about 5 degrees and placed a plastic bag lined waste paper basket under the muzzle to catch drippings

( of which there were none ). I inserted a bore guide in the chamber and squirted the Wipe Out in.

*NOTE: I covered the stock with a thin plastic :supermarket" bag to protect the finish from the Wipe Out which will

eat some finishes.  This gun has an oil finish that I wanted to protect.

*NOTE. I perforated a sponge ear plug with a darning needle and pushed it onto the nozzle of the Wipe Out spray can.

That effected a good seal. It has a tendency to "stall" or refuse when the barrel is full.

A second squirt results in "kickback" discharging the Wipe-Out back out around the cans nozzle.

The stuff needs to be used SPARINGLY since as much as 1/2 will be wasted with excessive injection.

It takes very little to fill the barrel.

I waited 20 minutes then swabbed the barrel, one time, one direction, chamber to muzzle, with a cotton patch followed

by a cotton ball ( of the type the women use with cosmetics ). They both came out with blue staining!!!

I reinjected and waited one hour. More blue staining more intense in color. I repeated it 3 more times waiting 1 hour to

1 1/2 hours ( total of 5 times ) and only on the 5th time did I get a fairly clean swab without blue but with some gray coloring.

The blue staining means copper but it doesn't quantify it. How much copper?

In an effort to find out I took a copper penny and weighed it. It weighed out at 38.4 grains on my powder scale.

Then I coated the penny on both sides with Wipe Out and waited until it broke down which took about 15 minutes.

The liquid began to evaporate so I wiped the penny with a Kleenex tissue and weighed it.

It appears to have lose 1/10 grain. I repeated the process and it lost about another 1/10 grain more or less.

*( It is not precise enough to ascertain the exact weight in sub 1/10 grain amounts ).

In order to quantify the volume of copper that was removed I dropped one particle of IMR 4350 stick powder on the

scale and it raised the weight very roughly 1/10 grain. I dropped another on and the weight increased again very

approximately 1/10 grain. That is the assumed amount of copper removed from the penny.

It apparently isn't possible to correlate the amount of copper removed from the barrel from color comparison but the

color of the cotton patch and cotton swab on the first barrel cleaning was very similar in intensity and amount to that

of the swabbing from the copper penny. After having cleaned the barrel with all four of the above mentioned products,

the Wipe Out took out "A LOT" more copper.

Conclusions:

1. Wipe Out seems to perform as advertised.

2. When a barrel seems to be clean using other products, it is NOT totally clean.

I have loaded some rounds that I shot previously and that were giving excellent sub-MOA accuracy. The next step is

to shoot these at the range and see if the barrel has come back to it's original accuracy.

Interesting thing I found.......I've tried the wipeout on a couple of barrels. The first was a slightly fouled rem 700 25-06.

It took 3 applications to get it clean. I wasn't impressed....THEN I pulled out a really fouled .257 wby--guess what it...it

came clean in one application. So maybe all copper is pretty much the same but the way it sticks to a barrel pretty much

is related to the barrel and how smooth it is. ANYHOW SO FAR I LOVE THE STUFF. I can take three guns to the range,,

lay them flat on the top of my freezer, give 'em a shot and go watch tv.

Come back a while later and plunge them out.

ALL in all time spent at the cleaning cradle is about 1/3 what it used to be YIPPEE!!

Follow up on Wipe Out:

I shot the 26-06 Mauser that had been thoroughly cleaned with Wipe Out using 51 grains of IMR 4350 and a

Sierra 100 grain bullet. The first two shots were about 1 1/2" too high. The next three grouped 1/2" wide x 3/4" high.

I laid a penny on the group and all of the three holes edges touched the penny. The horizontal ( windage ) alignment was

right dead center on the "X " the official NRA military type target.

I am not exactly sure as to what to call the two initial shots but there are two terms:1. Fouling shot 2. Flier.

The barrel was cool to the touch on the first two shots but heated up on the next three although I gave is a few minutes

to cool down.

On the same trip I took my Ruger Model 77 Mark II .338 Winchester Magnum along and shot it.

I had loaded the French GPA all copper hollow point bullets 213 grain, using 66 grains of IMR 4350.

The first shot was 1 1/2" high and 1" to the left. The next three shots were as follows #1. 3/8" above the "X"

( dead center) and 1/8" to the left. #2 and #3 were both touching ( straddling ) the "X" ring and 10 ring circle

*( That is 1/2 in the "X" ring. The group was 3/4" x 3/4" at 100 yards. I laid a penny on the group and all three bullet

holes touched the penny. It can be noted that the powder/load/bullet combination was from " scratch" never before loaded.

It was a "first".

Both rifled acted in a similar fashion. The first and or second shots were a little high. Then subsequent shots grouped

very acceptably for a hunting rifle ( sub MOA ). That seems to indicate that on the initial shot or two, when hunting,

the point of impact should be held a littel bit low ( 1"to 2" ) then subsequent shots can be held basically "on".

There isn't much room to complain about the performance of either rifle. But a little more refinement may result in

some smaller groups.

I just got mine delivered to me today. I tried it in one rifle that had bad "copper painting" in the last 2 inches of the

barrel by the muzzle. After 2 applications, all the copper was gone!! I had tried other solvents, but was not getting

very far. I'm sure if I would have let it sit longer (like the directions say) I could have got it all in one application.
The next rifle I try it in, I am going to leave it in the barrel overnight, and see what happens.

This is what they suggest for badly fouled barrels, or for barrels that you do not know how much fouling is in them.
The good thing with this is- it will not harm your barrel, bluing, or health. It actually contains a rust inhibitor, and does

not attack the steel like ammonia.

I also ordered the Flush-out degreaser and Slicker.

I really like the Slicker lube as well.

It sprays on as a light penetrating oil, then dries to a lightweight grease.

Congratulations to these guys for making great products!!!!!

I ordered some of this product last week, based on the second round of "thumbs up". It hadn't yet arrived when I

discovered it on the shelf of my local gun store. So I bought a can and tried it yesterday.
I'd been following this thread closely because I have a "tiger stripe" barrel on a new gun.

Black grooves; orange lands. So much for not following the correct break in procedure!

Anyway, I've spent a week and a half with Hoppe's copper remover, and Shooter's Choice, and a brush, and I

just couldn't make any progress on the copper. That bore soaked for at least a week, and I couldn't see any difference.

Lots of green on the patches, but the bore still was nice and coppery.

Wipe-Out fixed it. I let the first application sit for four hours. (OK, I'm impatient. So shoot me.)

Patch came out bright blue. So I applied it again, and went to bed. This morning, the patch was totally clean.

I'm blown away. Got three more guns working as I type.......almost makes you feel guilty!

Like others, I've had trouble getting enough Wipe-Out in the barrel without making a big mess, with it dripping

all around the can and muzzle. I don't care though; the product is much cheaper than elbow grease!!!

And the mess isn't all that bad. Do expect drips out of the muzzle and possibly chamber though.  But the good news is that

I know that Wipe-Out can't set up into a solid glue........that isn't true of some other stuff out there.

Breaking in a barrel (right) will be unbelievably easy with this stuff.

Big thumbs up everybody, this stuff works!!!

I've never looked forward to cleaning guns but carried on anyhow out of necessity. I just tried a barrel cleaning product

that is a spray in foam and was very impressed with the results. It takes out copper etc without any odour.

Spray it in wait ten minutes and dry patch it out. One gun was fouled quite heavily with copper and it was just a matter

of leaving it in for a longer period, patching it out and if color still showed just spray it in again. They have a website along

 with some other lube and cleaning product for firearms at www.paulcousa.com.

It sure makes life easier for the drab job.

OK, I was sceptical. Now I'm a believer. I cleaned nine rifles and all I needed was a patch and a jag.

It really does dissolve everything...and I mean everything.

On my .22 centerfires it only took about a second to fill the bore but my 375 and 416...well lets just say a little longer.

And like .470 I had some difficulty with the plastic cone and rifles with barrel band front sights...it was awkward but

do-able. No what am I going to do with all those brushes and bottles of shooters choice and sweets?

After reading these posts, I couldn't resist trying this product on a relatively new Dakota Safari 375 H&H

(about 100 rounds fired). Here are my observations.
Sprayed the Wipe-Out from the breach using a bore guide (without solvent reservoir).

Absolutely no mess and no residue in the action. The excess Wipe-Out was neatly pushed out the end of the barrel.

First application was left in barrel 2 hours and using a patch and jag, found no blue residue.

However the "tiger stripes" at the end of the bore were eliminated. There was obviously some residual copper fouling

but not enough to cause the tell-tale bluing effect.

My usual cleaning regimen with Sweet's 7.62, and J-B, had probably kept the copper fouling under control.

However I was never able to eliminate the highly visible "tiger stripes" until I used this product.

I was impressed with the product's ease of use and will continue to experiment with it on my other rifles.

I think we have a winner here. Noting the difficulty some users had with excess Wipe-Out in the action,

I recommend trying the bore guide method as I found it to be very clean way to use it.

At the advise of M'Bogo I went out and bought some wipe out as it appears that I was using a product called

XXXXXX (product name Xed out) and it is also a shaving cream, I was not impressed with it...the other stuff sets up like

epoxy.

The wipe out is very good indeed, so be careful all that stuff is not the same.....I have had some checkered experience with a similar product.

Well, I have almost finished off my first can. It didn't last 100 cleanings, but it sure cleaned the crap out of all my rifles.

I am sold on it. It cleaned bores that I have never been able to clean with thoroughly with other standard cleaning solutions.

FYI though, I only got about 50 cleanings out of a can. I might have gotten 70 if I was a little less wasteful.

I finally received my product from these folks. Damn, took nearly four weeks.
I had a 25.06 ready and waiting to test. The rifle had been cleaned thoroughly and there was no visible copper fouling

nor did Sweets or Butchs indicate presence of the same.

Applied the Wipe Out, let sit overnight, and pushed a tight one through which came out mildly blue! I had scrubbed the

hell out of this rifle! The fouling was minimal and a second 10 minute application yielded a clean patch.

My beloved and often used .375 was next. It had received a "standard" cleaning.

Same overnight test resulted in an extemely blue patch. Two more 10-15 minute applications took care of that.

My .458 is soaking right now. It's a notorious copper fouler, so it will also be a good test.

I am tracking the number and calibre of filled barrels. (Not the number of rifles cleaned.) \

It will be interesting to see how far it will go.

Overall, I must admit to being impressed with the product.

Haven't tried the Flush Out or the Slicker yet, but will soon.

I am ordering more Wipe Out now so it will arrive before this can runs out!

I got my two cans on Friday and went to work.
After covering my garage in Wipe-Out, I finally figured out that a light tap on the button will fill up most of a 30-06

barrel, and you can just barely depress the button, and let it "splutter" until full if you didn't get the barrel full the

first time. The "spluttering method worked fine to fill a Blackhawk 7 1/2 barrel without wasting the stuff.

Here's a tip for usage--try it out and let me know if it worked for you.

The plastic cone is too stiff to really seal the barrel, so I reasoned that a gasket is needed. I poked a hole in a 1 3/4#

square patch and put it over the spray nozzle inside the cone. This worked great for barrels where the fat end of the

cone will fit over the muzzle.

For larger calibers, reverse the cone on the can and poke a slightly larger hole on the patch.

Put the patch over the cone so that it will perform as a gasket between the bore and the can.

I had zero problems with leakage by using the patch as a gasket.

Somebody try it out and let me know if this "gasket" thing works for you. I will try to post some pictures later.

Oh yeah, I like the stuff too.

I know the next rifle will be perfect.......
