Anyone had trouble cleaning their barrel after using this powder? I shot a match the other day with my .223 using this powder and 80 grain Sierras and it took ages to get the fouling out . Black crap on patches for ever. Never had this problem with 2206, 2208 or BM2.

Re: KG products
I just ran an overnight test on KG-12 copper solvent. One drop on the base of a lapua projectile & one drop on stainless steel.
Results: Stainless completely untouched, bullet base is being devoured before my eyes.
This solvent certainly lives up to the advertising claims.
Company (Debbie) is great to deal with too. I received my 4 bottles of KG-12 in less than a week.

Me again,
John, I have had very good success with GMH Top Engine cleaner, comes in 500m cans for about $17-$18 and has the same ingredients as Shooters choice.
I believe it works better than SC and it aggressively attacks carbon and also gets into copper........I hardly use Sweets now.
Hope this helps

Morning All,
I have playing around with some brews that i found on the following site. www.frfrogspad.com/homemade.htm.
Eds Red Plus, one of the recipes on this site works well, just remember to scale down the formulas, otherwise you will end up with a lot of solvent.
In regards to 2206h, i have found it to be a clean burner, just be carefull of your loads as the tend to a bit faster, perhaps it may have some of Edward Kelly's gmh upper cyclinder cleaner in it
.
Reards.

G'day John,
perhaps we're looking at this from the wrong end........
If the 2206H is a clean burning powder, then perhaps your not getting enough pressure/heat into the combustion process. Have you tried a hotter primer such as a magnum primer or another brand of primer? I feel that if you are getting incomplete combustion of the powder, I feel that this will contribute to carbon build up.
From my BR experience where we run hot to very hot loads, i have found carbon build up is rarely a problem.
hope this helps

Morning Ned,
I think you may be on the right track in regards to primers, from what i have read on the Hodgon powder site, 2206h is sold in the states as one of the extreme powders, very suitable for very low temps or hot climates, i recollect that i read that you need a fairly warm primer to get it going properly.
Regards,
Peter M

Thanks for all the answers. The load I used was 24.2 grains of 2206H and the 80 grain Sierra. I used Rem 71/2 primers as I was getting cratering with the PMC's. Shot some of the PMC ones and the same is happening . Have never had this problem with the 69 HPBT's or the 75 A-Maxs using 2206 and 2208. Also used BM2, BM1 and 748 with lighter projies and no trouble . Begining to think I might need a magnum primer. Any recomendations.
Cleaning with a variety of stuff, Butch's Bore Shine , Barnes, Boretech and i found the best to Tetra. Will try KG and top clean when I get some .
Regards
john

G'Day john
in regards to primers I've used Federal gold Medal Match and CCI 400's in my BR rifle, but I currently use CCI 450 magnums in the .223. I rely on the hotter magnum primers to ensure reliable ignition of the 2208. The Federals are slightly larger in diameter so if you ever find your primer pockets are loose, try the Fed's.
