Cheaper, Faster, Better-Smelling<\/i><\/p>\n
As reported some time ago, I ordered two cleaning products so I could compare them to the magnificent but expensive Hornady One Shot lube and cleaner. They arrived this week, and I just tried them. The products? Break-Free Powder Blast and Sharp Shoot R Flush Out.<\/p>\n
Powder Blast appears to be a petroleum product similar to brake cleaner or Gun Scrubber. I don’t think it has any lubricant in it, although I am too lazy to go look. Flush Out is citrus-based. It is supposed to be a degreaser, but it claims to leave a lubricant film behind. I usually think of degreasers as products that leave absolutely nothing behind, but I guess it’s possible to degrease while leaving oil behind. I didn’t see anything on the Flush Out label about removing powder residue, but I thought I’d give it a try anyway.<\/p>\n
The verdict? I am not positive, but I think Powder Blast worked a little better. They both worked very well. Definitely a better choice than spending three times as much on Hornady. On the whole, I prefer Flush Out, because it’s made from citrus. The other stuff is a little scary, and you can’t clean a gun without getting it all over your hands. Some of it hit a plastic vegetable container in the garbage, and the container melted. I used the sprays and the Boresnake, and then I followed with Liquid Wrench spray dry lube, and I was done. Except for cleaning off the excess with alcohol.<\/p>\n
I think from now on, it’s Flush Out and Liquid Wrench for me.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
