TO BE HONEST, I DON'T KNOW. WHAT I WOULD WONDER ABOUT IS THE CHEMICAL REACTION BETWEEN HOPPES AND SWEETS. I'M A BELIEVER IN NOT MIXING CHEMICALS UNLESS I CAN PERFORM A TEST AND I DO NOT USE MY BARRELS FOR TESTING PURPOSES OTHER THAN SHOOTING.

I TO USE ALCOHOL AFTER SWEETS OR MONTANA EXTREME OR CR-10 OR BORE TECH COPPER REMOVER OR ANY OTHER SOLVENT WITH AMMONIA CONTENT AND THEN AN OILY PATCH, REMEMBER THE ALCOHOL JUST REMOVED ALL THE LUBRICATING PROPERTIES FROM THE BARREL.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE "DESTRUCTIONS" ON THE BOTTLE OF MOST MAUFACTURERS THEY ARE SPECIFIC ABOUT NOT MIXING THEIR PRODUCT WITH SOMEONE ELSES CLEANING FLUID. I TEND TO HEED THIS TYPE ADVICE. IT GETS EXPENSIVE REPLACING $300 BARRELS JUST CAUSE YA' CAN'T READ OR ARE TOO STUBBORN TO LISTEN.

#1 RULE, I DON'T MIX CLEANING PRODUCTS.
