[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 899516, member: 11717"] 1 Is this barrel going to always copper up? Yes 2 Did I not clean the copper out enough previously? Maybe, maybe not. If you have to ask the question, probably not. That said, getting ALL the copper out is not always needed. Some barrels need to be fouled after cleaning and leaving a trace of copper and carbon isn't always a bad thing. 3 Is this normal? Is what normal? Loosing accuracy after 40 rounds or so? It depends on the rifle and barrel and condition of the barrel. 40 rounds of accuracy is not bad for a factory barrel ( I assume it's factory). I have heard of rifles needing cleaning after 20 rounds or less. Most of my factory rilfes started going South after maybe 30-60 rounds after cleaning. 4 What would cause this gun to do this so quickly compared to my other rifles? Compared to what other rifles? All rifles and barrels have different personalities. When you buy a used rifle, you have no idea of what you're buying unless you bore scope and shoot it. If you want to know you are getting the copper out, use Bore Tech Eliminator and follow the directions. If you want to know the conditon of your bore have it bore scoped by someone who knows what their doing. That will answer most, if not all your questions. [/QUOTE]
