[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1109220, member: 2736"] In my opinion . A clean barrel is always the best for accuracy and repeatability. A properly broke in barrel does not need any copper or coatings to improve it, I have tried many of these and found that they created "More and different problems" and some were hard to remove to return to the barrels original performance. All of the best groups ( Many under 1/10th MOA ) that I have shot were in a clean barrel. Some treatments will increase velocity slightly or supposed to increase barrel life, But in my experience they have effected accuracy and did not prolong usable barrel life. I have also tried coated bullets and found no real improvements in accuracy and found it more difficult to clean the barrel. I have always been interested in improvements and tried anything that sounded reasonable but always ended up back to the clean barrel. I also use Bore tech as one of the solvents(Depending on the severity of the fouling) and have been very pleased with it's results. Just an Opinion based on over 50 years of shooting and re loading J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
