[QUOTE="Guest, post: 25212"] Unless you are a metalurgist, you may not know that metals of similar hardness tend to gauld. What this means to a shooter is that once a bullet leaves copper, that area of the barrel will continue to grab more copper jacket material at a much faster rate, greatly increasing the rate of copper fouling. I know that shooting the first shot through a barrel with Synthetic oil in the bore greatly reduces the copper left behind. The second shot fired largely rides on the powder residue of the first shot. Guys that clean their barrels and then dry them before shooting are increasing the wear and fouling of their barrels. I use Mobil 1 Synthetic 0w-30 (NOT 10w-30) It will perform below -40*. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [ 02-05-2003: Message edited by: S1 ] [/QUOTE]
