WOLF's steel case polyformance non-magnetic copper jacket?

[SmittyMHS 603]

I just started using this stuff just to see how it stacks up to their Gold. I have to say after a few hundred rounds its about even as far as accuracy/ f-t-f/ f-t-e goes. I just wouldn't call it as clean as Gold. I must go through 40 patches before the barrel STARTS to clean up. I'm using Hoppe's #9 as I have been since I was a kid. Anyone have a similar issue? Or have something new/better? I tried waiting longer before starting to run patches. Running about 20 patches then swabbing again w/ 9 and waiting again./longer. I don't mind taking a little longer to clean up to save a few bucks , but it's getting very old very fast.

I hardly ever run patches through any barrels myself, including the match guns. I dunno how nasty the "new" Wolf is, but I found that the foaming bore cleaners do an awesome job at breaking up crud and reducing the need to scrubbing.

Thanks Vlad, but I have to ask, What are you using if not patches? 

[Vlad G 345]

My usual rifle barrel cleaning procedure is foam the bore with a foam cleaner, go do something else for 10min, run ONE patch through the barrel to get the sloppy foam remains out, run a bore snake through twice, and move on. If I'm not going to use the rifle for a couple of weeks and it is not chromed or otherwise coated, I'll put some oil on the boresnake before the last pass. 

I spend a lot more time cleaning the locking lugs or bolt carrier and bolt the barrel, and I don't do all that much of that either. Removing every spec of dirt is just not important.

Ok...So I guess I'm being anal then? Great! I do have better things to do with my time.

Some people like cleaning, Im just telling you what works for me.

I've used the foaming MPro-7 bore cleaner on my AK and I'm always amazed how much gunk comes out . I also just run 1-3 patches through the barrel to clear the foam out of the barrel and follow-up with a bore snake. I'm guessing that if the foam can clean up the Wolf AK ammo, then it should work fine on the somewhat cleaner Wolf AR stuff.

In my opinion, the MPro foaming cleaner does a better job than the Gunslick or Breakfree versions.
