[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 310454, member: 11717"] Shayne, I think the first question should be... Is your barrel broke-in? Did you make sure you cleaned out ALL the copper after each shot? Did you notice any reduction in copper fouling? One way to check the effectiveness of your cleaning is to bring it home from the range, clean it like you clean at the range, dry patch it out good and then soak it over night with Wipeout. If there is any copper in the bore, the Wipeout will get it out and you will know how effective your cleaning is. If you aren't getting all the copper out, your break-in process will take a loooong time. Once, your barrel is broke-in, then you can start to test your cold bore and fouling shots and check your groups. And yes, every barrel is different. Some need a fouling shot or two and some don't.
