[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1305311, member: 99039"] I did see you posted using Large Rifle primer instead of Large Rifle Magnum, I would think the primer not being Magnum would not burn all of the powder, never use less than a magnum primer with an Ultra Magnum cartridge. As for age of primers, I have a custom made 28 Nosler and have been using my CCI 250 primers I purchased back in year 2000, they do not give me any problems and accuracy at 200yds is .525 with 180 VLD and .595 with 195 EOL, I have not had the time to work on accuracy verification at 400, 600, or 800 yds, but will verify before summer. I am using RL33 powder on the 195gr and used Retumbo on the 180gr, and am currently working on a load with RL33 for the 180gr. The velocity I am seeing on the 180's with Retumbo is averaging 3117fps with 80.7gr, the 195's are averaging 3093fps with 84.3gr of RL33. As for cleaning, I am not seeing a ton of fouling, I clean down to bare metal every 50-60 rounds, I always run a dry bore snake down the bore after every shooting session. To clean out carbon and copper I have been using Bore tech products, the carbon solvent and the copper solvent, sometimes, I will leave the copper solvent in the bore from 6 to 8 hours to help dissolve the copper. Another product that I have used with good results is Wipe Out. I will say Heavy carbon fouling to me is powder that was not fully burned. [/QUOTE]
