Who This Is For
Hoppe's Bench Rest Copper Cleaner is ideal for precision shooters, competitive marksmen, and serious hunters who demand a consistently clean barrel. If you shoot jacketed bullets frequently — especially through rifles or pistols with tight tolerances — copper fouling accumulates faster than you might expect and can noticeably degrade groupings. This solvent is also a smart choice for anyone who hasn't deep-cleaned their bore in a while and needs a heavy-duty solution to cut through layers of built-up residue.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is Hoppe's Bench Rest Copper Cleaner different from regular Hoppe's No. 9?
While Hoppe's No. 9 is an excellent all-around solvent for routine cleaning, the Bench Rest Copper Cleaner is specifically formulated with a stronger chemical action designed to target and dissolve copper jacket fouling that standard solvents struggle to remove. If you shoot jacketed bullets regularly or haven't deep-cleaned your barrel in some time, the Bench Rest formula is the more effective choice for restoring your bore to bare metal.
How do I safely use this solvent without damaging my barrel?
Apply the solvent to a clean patch or bore brush and run it through the barrel, allowing it to dwell for several minutes to break down fouling. Wear gloves, as the formula is chemically aggressive. Crucially, always follow up with a clean dry patch and then a lightly oiled patch to neutralize the solvent — leaving bore cleaner in the barrel without oiling can cause oxidation and damage the metal over time.
How often should I use a copper solvent on my rifle?
For general recreational shooting, a dedicated copper cleaning session every 200–500 rounds is a reasonable guideline, though precision and bench rest shooters may clean after every range session to maintain optimal accuracy. Signs that copper fouling is affecting performance include widening shot groups, inconsistent velocities, and visible blue-green residue on your cleaning patches — all indicators that it's time to reach for the Hoppe's Bench Rest Copper Cleaner.
