I used this stuff tonight to clean 4 rifles two of which had a fair amount of bench time today.  So I expected them to be long to clean.  I tried Hopes Elite Foaming Cleaner on a whim.  This stuff is great.  Cut my cleaning down to 8 to 10 minutes a rifle instead of the usual 30 min / gun.  Get the stuff.  My routine was:

Foam the barrel and let it stand for about an hour.  Then brush out the barrel aggressively 10 or 15 strokes.  Run a couple of dry patches through the barrel and get the fouling out, you'll be amazed to see what they look like.  Then use wet patches of #9.  By the third patch it was coming out the same color as it went it. 

$9 at Walmart for a pump can of it.  Each barrel  took two suits of the foam.  That was two 270's, a 7mm Mag, and a 30-06.
