[QUOTE="Broz, post: 552754, member: 7503"] Sounds to me like you are leaving copper in the tube. I have tested many cleaners including all the ones you mentioned and the Boretech eliminator is the best at removing copper fouling. I would suggest you take a day and wet patch with the boretech every 10 minutes (4 wet patches) letting it soak in between. It will take a ton of patches and time if you have a major fouled tube especially if solid coppers like Barnes bullets have been used. A nylon brush can speed things a little too. Wet it well and use in 20 strokes at a time being very careful not to damage the crown of the barrel by letting it flop out and yanking it back. I would limit this process to 1 or 2 times per cleaning. Once you finally get that bore clean the following shots can start to smooth the rough areas that are holding the copper. Then the rifle will clean easier each time. There are many opinions about cleaning and cleaners. This is what works for me after years of testing products and procedures. Jeff [/QUOTE]
