Discontinued..Hoppe's 9 plus

[FishDFly]

Why does bottled drinking water cost more than gasoline?

 

[Zonie]

Because some people are fools and will pay good money for stuff in fancy bottles?

:haha:
And that's the same reason I think people buy commercial BP patch lube and cleaning products, and it's even better if they can buy in bulk through the mail,,

I too have gravitated to using it as a patch lube and find it to my liking! No longer having to clean between shots while at the range is well worth the price. Just wish they would come out with a candle fragrance of Hoppes#9...my wife actually likes the aroma as well! :wink:

I started using Hoppes #9 BP lube when it was the old formula. Last I bought was a 2 gallon drum of the "new" formula lube. So far it's the best patch lube I've run across. But in the woods I start off with NL1000.

NL1000 is all I use for hunting here.
Then for cold weather range trips, just open a bag of precut/prelubed patches, squeeze a few squirts of Hoppes on them to get them wet, and just shoot.
I figure it might add every bit of .15 or .20 cents to the cost of a range trip.
:wink:

Not a candle, but you can get No. 9 air freshener. Expect a priceless look when a hunting buddy gets in the truck.

SDSmlf -
You gave me the best laugh of the day. Hoppe's Air Freshener - I have to get some! That's Great!

Anyone know if Bore Tech's Black Powder solvent is any good? Brownell's doesn't have the Hoppes version and I need to order some things from them.

if i remember right, the active ingredient in hoppes 9+ was kerosene.

Probably still is. The neutered Hoppes formula no longer contains Benzene - that's the stuff tht gave Hoppes it's actual charming and tangy smell.

OK......wat is NL1000??
Google only gives me returns on a poker game, pedometer and some sort of balloning over water. :shocked2:

Try searching for "Natural Lube 1000" - you will get plenty of hits. It is a Thompson Center product that I have yet to try.

OxYoke makes a natural lube they sell under the name of Wondelube 1000.
By contract with OxYoke, T/C also sells wonderlube but sells it under the name of Natural Lube 1000...normally abbreviated as NL1000

if i remember right, the active ingredient in hoppes 9+ was kerosene.

It was benzyne ... now banned.

 

[roundball]

The label on every bottle of Hoppes PLUS BP I've owned during the past 20 years shows that it contains Kerosene

 

[cschibi]

I have been and am currently using this product... It seams to clear the fouling and provide considerable lubrication for more consistent shooting scenarios..don't understand why this would be a discontinued product.

If you read through the post you will find it was just a rumor and will continue to be made.
