Frequently Asked Questions
How is Hoppe's Bench Rest Copper Solvent different from regular Hoppe's No. 9?
Hoppe's No. 9 is a general-purpose powder solvent great for routine cleaning, but the Bench Rest Copper Solvent is a more aggressive, specialized formula specifically designed to break down and remove copper jacket fouling. If you shoot jacketed rifle rounds regularly and need to strip accumulated copper from the rifling, the Bench Rest formula is the stronger, more targeted choice.
Do I need to neutralize the bore after using this copper solvent?
Yes — this is an important step. Because Bench Rest Copper Solvent is a strong chemical cleaner, it will leave bare metal exposed after stripping fouling. Always run clean, dry patches through the bore first, then follow up with a quality gun oil or protectant to neutralize any remaining solvent and prevent rust or corrosion from forming on the bare steel.
How long should I let the solvent sit in the bore before patching it out?
For light fouling, letting the solvent dwell for 5–10 minutes is typically sufficient before running patches. For heavy copper buildup, apply the solvent, wait 10–15 minutes, run a bronze brush followed by dry patches, and repeat the process until patches come out clean. Avoid leaving the solvent in the bore for extended periods without following up, and always neutralize with oil when finished.
