More than you wanted to know about benzene, other than the fact that it is a carcinogen:I use WW2 US army bore cleaner as a quick clean at the range before heading home. (smelly stuff with benzene, use only outdoors) A few sloppy wet patches to soak the bore and I wipe down the lock and barrel flats. Then a hot soapy cleaning at home. The stuff was intended to neutralize old corrosive primers, so I figure it is good on black powder fouling.
It has served me quite well for the past thirty years.
I use Murphy's Mix (equal parts of Murphy's Oil Soap, hydrogen peroxide, and rubbing alcohol) almost exclusively after shooting Black Powder in CAS. It does not need to be rinsed away.
I thought this magic 'Murphy's Mix' cleaned everything out so there wouldn't be any hard fouling left behind...If necessary, use Hoppe's no 9 if any hard fouling left behind.
This whole thread has got to go down as the most ridiculous thread there ever
Was on here!!

Allright, I'll just find my Speedos and a camera...Ryden: lets see you use that method on a Octagon barrel
