[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 906658, member: 11717"] I tend to agree that since the pressure issue is a changing dynamic it must have to something to do with a changing bore condition brought about by firing the rifle. That said, these rifles are not fouling all that much. The 6-284 and 6.5 WSM take less than a dozen patches and the RUM has taken about 6 to 3 patches the last 2 times I've cleaned it. My routine is to drop a few drops of BTE down the muzzle, scrub with a nylon brush and let it soak for about 30 mi then wet patch it out until color fades. With the 6-284 and WSM, this takes about 3-4 patches per srub/soak for a total of less than a dozen patches. The last time I cleaned the RUM, the 2nd patch after after scrub/soak was pale. After the 2nd scrub/soak, the 1st patch was light colored and the 2nd patch was clean except for some trace carbon. So if the bore is changing, why so little fouling coming out? A real mystery to me.
