Ok, for those of you that are religious cleaners, will Hoppes actually remove copper fouling? I do not shoot hundreds of rounds through my rifles so this will most likely not be a huge problem as a quick clean should get most of the stuff out of mine from my use. However, I was curious as a friend of mine had a good shooting rifle that seemed to lose accuracy over time. At first he thought it was him and then others shot with it consistently with the same type of results, or results that were not up to par with their previous times with the rifle. Come to find out after it was finally taken to a gunsmith, the copper fouling inside somehow was throwing off the accuracy, like a lot. So, the gunsmith cleaned it with some more potent stuff and all seems to be fine now. He stated that Hoppes would not remove the fouling completely and that over time this would build up and ruin accuracy. Is this true?
