[QUOTE="MoreSalsa, post: 2665295, member: 120766"] I don't know if I "have to" run multiple patches but I do, per the particular procedure that I chose to follow (Christensen arms' barrel break in procedure). Basically as long as I continue to run soaked patches, the copper continues to come out. Obviously dry patches mop it up and become clean, but if I run another wet patch, the green comes back. This is not true of the black fouling ... plenty of that at the start but it goes away. Brushing with some solvent also brings out a lot of green, as I'd expect it to. I interpret what you are saying as the the Wipe-Out will pull all of that copper out in one round. That would be nice, but what was concerning me more is not how long it takes to get it all out, but why there is so much of it. With my Seekins Precision rifle, I had a hard time even getting any copper out of the barrel after initial shots, so the amount of copper from the JES rebored barrel was surprising to me. But sounds like I shouldn't worry about it too much ... make an effort to help the bullets work on the imperfections and go from there. [/QUOTE]
