Just wondering if any of you use it. The local gun shop owner sold me some and said it worked great. I sent 25 patches down the barrel and am still getting dirty patches. I can't believe my rifle was that dirty. Should I keep following the directions and keep going til I have a clean patch or am I going to end up doing some harm to the barrel. It says it won't harm the bore

Probably made by barrel makers

With a one peice coated rod and bore guide use Butches Bore Shine, BR Bore Brushes & Cotton Flannel Patches. Throw everything else in the trash.

It is an abrasive like JB or USP so they will continue to come out black. I use JB regularly at 200-300 round intervals. I hit the throat area to smooth out the throat and prevent carbon build up. Otherwise I use Butch's or Shooter's Choice and brushes for regular cleaning.

DMS that a great idea. Most people on this site dont get the carbon out of barrels which i know for a fact will ruin it. I dont disagree that alot of people overclean them but its a must when you do to get all that carbon out. I recomend a issoi treatment every 200-300 rounds unless its a big caliber then it needs done every 100 or more.
