  • Hi Mike,  Great vid! Have a few questions about Ballistol: 1)Can you clean the same way using Ballistol for guns using smokeless ammo or is Hoppes #9 better in that case? 2) Can you use Ballistol straight without diluting with water when cleaning after smokeless? 3) Can Ballistol be used safely on brass like that on the reciever of a '66 Uberti yellowboy (I've read in a couple of posts not to use it on brass)? Thanks in advance for any reply.-----Ron

  • @ron74555 Hoppes #9 is better on smokeless, but, if you shoot a lot of smokeless I'd recommend Kroil. You can buy small cans of it, but you can also search for gallon cans...not that expensive and it will last for years. Kroil is great for cleaning guns...learned that from a top pistol smith.

  • Really great information! I've always used Hoppes but it sounds like Ballistol is better to maintain the finish on the firearm. I'm going to pick up a can this weekend and see how it does. For some reason, I've always been scared by multi-purpose lubricants vs oils supposedly created specifically for firearms. I think I need to throw that fear away.

  • @bccasu1 Though Ballisol is in general use as a lubricant, especially in Europe on restaurant and kitchen equipment (it meets German food purity law standards), it was developed by the German Army in WWI specifically as a gun oil.
