[QUOTE="upacreek, post: 899556, member: 59039"] By comparison my .243, .270, 30-30, 7RM, ect, ect do not show heavy streaks of copper at the muzzle like this one. All my guns are Winchester except I have 1 ruger. Normally in the winter I clean all my rifles out of boredom with bore Tec till evidence of copper is gone. This 7WSM M70 exceeds what I perceive as normal. So are you saying 40 rounds between bore tec cleanings is normal for factory barrels? Like I said, maybe I am overthinking this and just need to accept that this rifle is just this way. My other rifles don't seem to be so finicky. Is it safe to assume a custom barrel has less issues with this? Is SS any different than chromoly in regards to this? Sorry to ask such novice questions. I was taught by old timers and recently learned there are things they never understood or cared about. What cleaning solvent does best? I have been using hopps forever. [/QUOTE]
