[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2272182, member: 10755"] Did you do a proper break in on the barrel? Was the barrel lapped prior to being chambered? Sounds to me like a barrel that hasn’t had a proper break-in procedure. I would clean with JB Bore Paste and a strong copper remover. If the fouling persists, you may just have a rough bore. The chamber and throat do not make the barrel foul, the barrel has not run in yet, but a shoot 1, clean for 5 shots, then shoot 3 and clean for 5 times and finally shoot 5 and clean for 5 times may help smooth out any roughness. Laying fouling over fouling is not helping your barrel run in. My 22-250AI barrel can have 2 matches worth of shots run down it and the copper fouling is barely any, takes 5 mins to clean it. One of my 25-06’s takes hours of scrubbing due to the myriad of machining marks from the factory, it shoots so good I just live with the knowledge it takes a lot of cleaning. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
