[QUOTE="Kmccord, post: 1305569, member: 99039"] Have you tried a nylon brush? I know using copper solvent with a bronze brush will give false reading on copper fouling. Something else you may want to try is go back through a barrel break in procedure, try shooting once, then give thorough cleaning until no carbon or copper is present, repeat same scenario for five shots, then go to three shot group and clean, repeat same scenario three shot string five times, then switch to two five shot groups and clean twice. This will give you 30 rounds down the barrel with a good cleaning, it should help polish the bore and make cleaning easier. In the above scenario you must be sure all carbon and copper fouling is out prior to shooting the next round. I would definitely use a nylon brush over a bronze and I would try different cleaner, I had always used hoppes for cleaning until somebody turned me on to wipe out and that was head and shoulders over hoppes, when I ordered my 28 Nosler, the builder suggested I try Bore Tech Carbon remover and Bore Tech Copper solvent and do not use bronze brushes with the copper solvent, it will eat them. The bore tech is ammonia free as well. It works great or at least it did for me, cleaning is quick after the break in procedure. I hope you are able to get it worked out, the 28 Nosler is a very good rifle, I am very happy with mine. [/QUOTE]
