[QUOTE="SBruce, post: 700600, member: 21068"] As you said, you didn't completely get all the copper out. IME, Hoppes #9 wont remove it. There are special copper solvents that will remove the copper fouling. Even with the strong stuff, it takes time or alot of patching to get a barrel completely copper free. Your problem could [U]still[/U] be copper fouling. Guess if it were me; I'd clean it down to bare metal (copper solvent soaked patches no longer showing any blue/green color.........or very little at least), and then go shoot. Paying attention to how many rounds it takes to shoot in good again, and how many additional rounds it takes to start throwing fliers. If it simply wont shoot good, even after 50 rounds, then you have another problem. [/QUOTE]
