We used Butch's Bore Shine. I bought the Bore Tech Cu+2 because it reviewed better on Brownell's website. The Eliminator also has copper solvent but the Cu+2 is specifically formulated for copper only. The Butch's worked well enough. I just bought the Bore Tech solvents to try something different. I can't speak to how they work since I haven't used them yet.
Several guys on the Savage forums highly recommend KG-12 for heavy copper fouling but the Cu+2 is designed for heavy copper fouling as well and it recommends the use of nylon brushes which I also like since they'll be a bit easier on the bore IMO.
