[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 162154, member: 2736"] [b]Load Development[/b] Blacktail Barnes bullets are notorious for fouling,but I use them in a lot of my rifles anyway. Barnes has thier on solvent that works well but there are lots of good copper solvents that will work. Normally I clean after 3 to 5 rounds when using the barnes bullets or molly cote them if i plan on shooting a lot. I never use them to break in a new barrel because of fowling. The triple shock appear not to fowl as bad as the x bullet and the XLC's when you can get them work well. 1 example of this problem = I bough a 416 rem mag years ago and hornady and barnes were the only bullets available at that time. wanting to use spitzers I bough the barnes. After loading 10 different loads I was off to the range. Started shooting and could not find an accurate load (around 1 MOA) so after 50 rds I gave up .The fun had gone out of it. When I got home it was time to start cleaning the beast, well 4 hours later I was still removing copper. This was a factory barrel so I contribute some fowling to this but never again will I shoot that much with out cleaning. Under hunting conditions this should not be a problem, so if your rifle likes them use them but clean often. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
