[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 865005, member: 41338"] Probably just the condition of the barrel. Imperfections in the barrel will snag copper, shot after shot. With factory barrels, it's a crap shoot with the condition of a barrel. Shooting and cleaning can sometimes make it better. Having a gunsmith hand lap and re-crown the barrel will also improve it. My experience is that if you've done a barrel break-in (shoot and clean), and it doesn't get better within the first 50 shots, it probably won't get much better. [/QUOTE]
