Y'all just opened my eyes on not bothering with copper remover. I might have to experiment with stopping it. When I eventually run out of my Hoppes, Montana Xtreme, and BoreTech, I'll start.
I'm of the philosophy of keeping things consistent, so I thoroughly clean after every time I go shooting. Copper removal included. The thought being that my gun is going to be in a known (clean) condition when I next shoot it. I use Hoppes #9 bore cleaner on the barrel, and for everything else I use Breakthrough military grade solvent or Hoppes carbon remover, followed by Radcolube CLP.
On lube, I only ever use Lucas Red-n-Tacky grease. Love it. No disrespect to team oil, but I'm on team grease all the way.
The only oil I use is on a clean barrel. Run one patch saturated with it and follow that with a dry patch.
