Description
Anyone who has run a few rounds of black powder, Pyrodex, or Triple Seven through a muzzleloader knows the mess that gets left behind. That gunk is acidic, it grabs moisture out of the air, and it will start eating at your bore fast if you let it sit. Bore Tech built this Black Powder Solvent to take that headache off your plate. It is an aqueous (water-based) formula loaded with high performance surfactants, naturally derived solvents, and rust inhibitors that go after powder residue, plastic wads, bullet lube, and the corrosive salts all in one shot.
What the Bore Tech Black Powder Solvent Handles
Muzzleloaders and inline rifles are a blast to shoot but a chore to clean with old-school solvents that only tackle carbon or copper. This one is made for the specific fouling black powder throws at you. It neutralizes the corrosive salts quickly, which is the part that matters most for keeping pitting and rust out of your barrel. The 16 oz squeeze bottle gives you good control when you are wetting patches or saturating a brush, and it lasts a long while since a little goes a long way.
Barrel-Safe and Easy on You
One of the nicer things here is that it is 100% barrel safe. No ammonia, so it will not etch or discolor stainless, chrome-lined, or blued barrels, and it is non-flammable so you are not fighting harsh fumes at the cleaning bench. You can even let it soak in the barrel indefinitely without worry, which is handy when a bore needs some extra time to loosen baked-in fouling.
Getting the Most Out of Your Bore Tech Black Powder Cleaner
The routine is simple. Wet a few patches and push them through in one direction to clear the loose stuff, then make a good number of passes with a saturated bore brush. Wipe dry when you are done, and if the gun is going into storage or facing damp conditions, follow up with a rust preventative or gun oil. Made in the USA and environmentally friendly, it earns its spot in any black powder maintenance kit.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Bore Tech Black Powder Solvent neutralize corrosive salts?
Yes, that is exactly what it is built for. The formula quickly neutralizes the corrosive salts that black powder and its substitutes leave behind, which is the fouling that causes rust and pitting if it sits in your bore. Getting those salts out is the most important part of cleaning a muzzleloader.
Is this solvent safe to leave soaking in the barrel?
It is. The Black Powder Solvent is 100% barrel safe and can be left to soak in the barrel indefinitely with no harm. That comes in handy when you have heavy, baked-in fouling that needs extra time to loosen up before you brush and patch it out.
Will it hurt stainless or chrome-lined barrels?
No. It is ammonia-free, so it will not etch or discolor stainless, chrome-lined, or blued finishes. It is also non-flammable, which makes for a safer and less fume-heavy cleaning session at the bench.
Does this work on Pyrodex and Triple Seven, not just real black powder?
Yes. It is formulated for modern muzzleloaders and inline rifles, so it handles the fouling from black powder substitutes like Pyrodex and Triple Seven right along with traditional black powder. It also cuts through plastic, bullet lube, and powder residue in the same pass.
