I myself use Hoppes No.9 as well. For 3 simple reasons:
1) It's not a abrasive like some
2) It's worked well so why change ??
3) Its readily avalible
My cleaning method for barrels is:
1) One patch with alot of Hoppes,
2) 10 COPPER Brush Strokes, (Stainless steel and nylon are a no-no)
3) One dry patch to pick up the gunk.
I clean them offen enough that normally this makes the bore look nice and clean

For anyone else, but 10ring, I would say that I approve. But for 10ring it would be a waste to use Hoppe's a a cologne. What a waste!!

I'll stick to my Old Spice myself 10Ring
Anyways I find that the patches dont do too much compared to using a good cleaning rod with a copper brush on the tip Anyone feel the same way ??

Humm getting alittle off topic with the Old Spice, Anyways I like the stuff
Tell me Bushmaster what type of oils and greases would you avoid putting in a rifle ??
I was thinking Silicon oil might work but I'm not sure if it will cause moister problems etc that WD-40 causes

Anyone try Hoppe's Elite copper solvent....??
I did just for gits and shiggles.....let's say I'm tickled with it and I don't impress easily...........
No soaking or excessive brushing, simply simple......
I wet a bore mop with it and stroke the bore about 10 times, the Elite will foam blue then go white......
I then wet a bronze brush with it and stroke the bore about 7 or 8 times....
I then push one patch wet with it all the way thru the bore.....
I then wet/dry patch the bore with two or three tight patches using carburator cleaner....
One final dry patch before bore oiling......
Whole process takes about 5 minutes or less and the bore has Zero copper/fouling content.......

wildswalker Welcome to the forums I hope you enjoy your stay
I'm going to have to try Hoppes Elite. Good Review!
What do you think/know are the differences between the Elite and good ol' No. 9 ??
1895,
Going to have to try that oil, Just incase mother nature desides to be bad to me one of these days

Looks like I'll have to buy stock in Hoppes & who ever makes EEZOX. This site is growing & if everyone tries Hoppes Elite & EEZOX, I'll be rich. I'm going to give it a try myself.
Keep it coming...

I don't use old spice but I do use hoppes #9 on my rifles and for gun oil I use EEZOX. It is a synthetic gun oil amd works from 450 degrees F to 95 degrees below F. I have used it for years with absolutey no frozen bolts etc. It cleans and lubes, prevents rust & finger printing, and there is no oily film, dry to touch. It's Good Stuff ................ !!
