Re: BL-C(2) and CARBON
I don't think anyone ever accused BL-C(2) of being clean.. That said, light loads don't burn off as well as higher end loads. Also, try a hot primer like a Fed. 215. If Bl-C(2) shoots for you don't worry about it. You got to clean the gun anyway.

Re: BL-C(2) and CARBON
I've tried 215's and it didn't make any difference. I'm using 43gr(2525fps), 46gr is max(2705).
What is the best carbon remover?

If you're interested in carbon only cleaning, you can use one of the several carbon cleaners for engines. I've used Sea Foam Deep Creep, Berryman B-12 and Mercury Quicksilver power tune engine cleaner (this really cleans the carbon out, found at boat supply stores).

Re: BL-C(2) and CARBON
I like Wipe Out . It is a foaming bore cleaner that does a good job. They also make an Accelerator product and Patch Out, a non-aerosol version of Wipe Out. I like Wipe Out better than Patch Out.
Accurate Shooter speaks highly of it and gives other suggestions for cleaning barrels you might find interesting.

Re: BL-C(2) and CARBON
Assume your using them in .308 Win. If so, increase you load nearer to max of 46.
Also, try Slip 2000 for carbon removal.
Good luck

Re: BL-C(2) and CARBON
Are you talking about fouling in the bore, or are you running a gas gun?
I use BLC-(2) for .223 loads in my ARs and have never noticed worse than normal carbon buildup on the bolt, but I also keep them wet with Mobile 1.
For bolt guns, I like using a foaming bore cleaner and lt it sit a while before I get the rod out.

Re: BL-C(2) and CARBON
Lots of boat dealers out there in Hawaii...get the Quicksilver cleaner. Wet it down an let it sit. Economical and works terrific. JMHO
