I use Hoppies as well,but I like the sound of this Windx APC w/vineger. Have you tried this in the bore?If it dissolves primer carbon it may be a good inexpensive bore cleaner as well.SteveH said:I've used Hopps #9 and Montanna Extreme Cowboy Blend, both work fine. I've just started to use Eezox on my centerfire rifle and since it works so well, may end up just using it on everything.
With BH209, it seems I spend easily half my cleaning time on the breech plug. Whether I use CCI209Ms or Rem STS primers, I get a fair amount of carbon soot on the plug. Someone recommended to use Windex All Surface Cleaner (with vineger) to soak the plug. It seems to work a bit better at dissolving the carbon build-up and is much cheaper than anything else I've tried.

How is the Hoppe's Elite cleaner working for you. I have a bunch of it but haven't tried it yet with BH209. Does it clean as good as the #9?

Don't use this in your bore. It works great on the breech plug. Don't use it in your bore, unless you want to be sad when you find rusting issues. When using BH209 don't use any common bore cleaners intended for black powder. Use any bore cleaners intended for use with smokeless powder. Hoppes is common, and it works.
