[QUOTE="mtang45, post: 514361, member: 4224"] I have read this whole thread and I'm still confused. If the high pressure was caused by copper build up, then why did the factory ammo shoot just fine? I'm wondering if perhaps what was perceived to be copper build up was actually brass from case necks being too long, and small shavings were pinched off by the projectile as it entered the bore. Under the heat from the friction/high pressure gases the brass shaving could be "melting" into the lands and grooves as it travels down the barrel. Copper and brass would certainly look the same through a scope if the brass was deposited in this manner. Just speculating. [/QUOTE]
