Re: Balistol vs Hoppes

Thanks for the link!
Great video!
I like Break-Free CLP the best--it is my go-to CLP.
Have not bought it in a gallon jug yet--but hey-it would be cool
to have that much lying around! ;-)

Re: Balistol vs Hoppes

I have used both and here is my take:

Hoppe's No. 9 solvent is a far better cleaner than Ballistol. You can experiment with both to confirm that or maybe you will get a different result than I have. Always fun to experiment and compare.

Hoppe's No. 9 bore cleaner or solvent is not a lubricant or protectant. For those chores I would recommend Ballistol or Breakfree CLP.

I will usually clean with Hoppe's then follow-up the lubricant-protectant part with Ballistol, Breakfree, or Mobil 1 Synthetic oil.
