    Black solve from Dixie GW is as good or better. Its concentrated so it makes plenty. On the range, spit is all you need. To clean after shooting, use the old standby of hot soapy water (dawn good at cutting grease), then a couple of patches soaked in black solve, dry the bore, and then run a...
