Re: Balistol vs Hoppes
I've been a subscriber to his youtube channel for quite awhile. I appreciate his thoroughness as well as showing how his tests work, rather than JUST giving you the results.puma guy wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 9:13 pmThey have many good tests/reviews on their youtube site.Flightmare wrote: ↑Sun Jan 16, 2022 2:16 pm Apologies for reviving an old thread, but I figured this youtube video is applicable;

Re: Balistol vs Hoppes
Great information. It seems like they have an “oil of the week” club. I have always used Ballistol. The Ballistol works well on the wood stocks and grips too. Ballistol does not hurt the G-10 grips or polymer. I will stick with Ballistol for me. Again though a great informative videos.

I never cared for Ballistol. MPro7 is the best solvent I've used and I follow that up with 50/50 Kroil Hoppes mix.

Re: Balistol vs Hoppes
I watched his video. I can attest to frog lube sucking in cold weather. It caused my shotgun to cease cycling in temps below freezing. After seeing that I trashed it. Also I can’t stand the smell of hoppes. I was glad to see slip 2k fail like it did in some areas. I’ve got a buddy who thinks it’s the only thing that works. While it may work in most cases it’s not the best.
