[QUOTE="The Syndicate, post: 57404, member: 3317"] Ok having a problem with my new gun thought you all might have some insight that might help. (problem):: Just bought a Tikka (made by sako ) in a 300 win this is my favorite new round, but went to the range with a box of Remingtion 180 swift scirocco rounds and they would not print worth a crap at 100 yds. 3 round groups of 1" to 1-1/2" It made me cry. so went home and promptly loaded up some 168 gr Hornady match bullets with 68 gr of IMR 4350 the data book says that they should be going about 2500 fps or so not a hot load. so back to the range. well this time the first 2 rounds almost in the same hole and the 3 one just high and to the right group size 1/2" or smaller so to the house to clean the gun. used shooters choice bore cleaner and sweets 7.62 copper solvent. ok ok I will get to the point after cleaning the crap out of the gun I looked down the barrel and to my dismay I saw copper streeks on the riflings thought sweets was the best now I wonder if the third shot problime is the copper build up????????????? do you guys have a solvent that works better or a cure for the copper problime I am all ears thank you for your time <font color="black"> </font> [/QUOTE]
