There is a lot of difference, Sweets has ammonia in it and is a hell of a lot better at getting copper out. I used hopes 9 for years then got educated it dose not move hopper like sweets that's for sure.

in the glass bottles .

Yeah if you leave it in for few day at a time!
I use Hoppes No9 to neutralize the sweets!
It smells good though!

Thats it ya get home put a patch through put it in the safe muzzle down and the next day another patch

i did this for my 6X45 barrel for 9000 rounds and it still holds 3/4 MOA not great i grant you but good enough
for roos .

I love the smell of Hoppes no9
I wish someone would bring it out as an aftershave

It would probably make a better aftershave than a bore solvent.
To be honest it is difficult to see copper in a moderately clean barrel with the naked eye. Put a bore scope down there and it is immediately obvious.
