No kidding!!!! Boy did you get lucky... Better go buy a lottery ticket..
As to the original question,,,, I've gone full circle a couple of times with cleaning solvents and have pretty much deceided that with today's technology,,, they all work pretty well...
I've finally quit buying every lasest and greatest "Gotta Have It" product that some gun-rag writer brags on because they gotta make a dead line,,, and went back to mixture of 75% Shooters Choice and 25%Kroil,, and a good scrubbing with Sweets every couple hundred rounds just for good measure... Sometimes,, if I'm feeling lazy or staying in a motel while shooting PD's I'll let em soak in Wipe-Out overnight..
I still love the smell of good old #9 so I use it on my rimfires.
