Best Bore Cleaner ????

What cleaner do you use to get your bore spotless? Often, after shooting some of my reloads, there is a buildup of something close to the chamber in my barrels. It takes me forever to get them clean. Break-Clean, Ballistol, Break Free, RemOil, they all don't do a great job when it comes to removing stuck on materials in the barrels. I believe the buildup to be plastic because it does not do it as bad with new shells.

So, I need some help to find the best bore cleaner so I don't have to spend 20 minutes scrubbing my barrels.

Thanks.

For plastic buildup acetone is a good solvent but keep it off your stock.

Getting anal about a clean bore is - well - anal. It just gets dirty again with the first shot.

If you are getting a lot of plastic buildup, try either AA, Federal or Downrange wads. I had problems with Claybusters in one gun and stopped using them. I have very little plastic buildup with wads listed.

You can try polishing the bores but I have never done that.
