[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 899570, member: 11717"] If you were cleaning with Bore Tech and following directions until you saw no evidence of copper, then you probably got all or almost all the copper out. It is the best solvent that I have tried and I have used a lot of them. IMO, Hoppes is next to worthless. Wipeout is as good as Bore Tech, but slower, but a lot less patches needed. I would say yes, that 40 rounds is in the "range" of what you might expect to be "normal" for good accuracy between cleanings in a factory barrel. I don't have a lot of experience with custom barrels and the 3 I have, i just got and also had them nitirded. So far they look like they don't foul much at all. I got a factory Vanguard in 223 a few months ago and saw almost no copper fouling in it until after 60 or so rounds through it. Then it started fouling more, but not bad. I had a couple of Senderos that were bad foulers but good shooters - they were in that 30-60 round range for good accuracy. I don't think there's much of a difference between SS and CM. It's more the quality of the tooling and process in boring and rifling the barrel and how well it's taken care of. [/QUOTE]
