No, it is I who misunderstood that you were responding to my question regarding Wipeout. My oligopolies to you sir.
Having quoted the statement on the K12 container that it is ammonia free, I have to say I question the accuracy of the statement. I used this product today and it has a very nasty odour very similar to that of amonia. Any chemists out there?

Thanks Chuck for your feedback, good to know!

As a matter of fact any time I change up which bullet I’m going to shoot, I’ll do a deep clean and remove all fouling including the copper fouling.
Mono bullets and cup and core are of course different when it comes to cleaning ,and I am also not flip flopping the bullets of a different brands .
But when foiling the barrel for a mono bullets ,which are usually Barnes TSXs or TTSXs for me mostly , I've foiled it many times with Sierras 4-5 shots and another 2-3 with Barnes and it did work a bit better then just foiling with a mono at the beginning.

I shoot 130 TSX and 150 Honrady Interbonds in my 308. I have interchanged them freely for over 15 years and have never worried about mixing the different kinds of copper, mostly because it never occurred to me to worry about it. The gun will shoot both loads to within a 1/4" of the same POI and will put either load into a 1/2" at 100 yards for three shots so I really can't see that mixing them has any negative effect.
