Pls let us know how well it works. I've been thinking about makimg a batch for quite a while (just lazy, I guess). I do understand it doesn't affect copper fouling, though.

Ed's Red works pretty good, unless you have copper problems.
It's kind of nice to put the muzzle of your rifle in the bucket of Ed's Red and use the cleaning rod with patch to pull cleaner up in the barrel and push it out, getting fresh cleaner with each stroke.
I've used the one gallon of cleaner to drop my S&W #25s into, at the range. I'd let them soak, muzzle down, then swab them out, wipe them down and put them back into their cases.
