[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 702756, member: 4809"] I posted a similar response on another thread here for someone with the same issue in another caliber. Spend another $5-$10 and take it to a smith and have him look at your barrel with a borescope. I had a custom 243 with a Brux barrel that shot lights-outl and then suddenly started showing high pressure signs with the same load. Even reduced loads produced high pressure for me. Turns out my barrel had a couple layers of carbon and copper built up inside. Now I have a good cleaning regimen which I use on all my rifles. never had a problem with any until now. Not sure why, but I guess this barrel is just different. At any rate....if the smith says your barrel is fouled then take a little JB paste on a patch and run it back and forth 5-6 times only in the area where the fouling has occurred. Never any more than that. Then finish up your normal cleaning routine using both copper & carbon solutions. Only do this if the barrel is fouled. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
