[QUOTE="legend102653, post: 535773, member: 36124"] I would assume you have fed a variety or different ammo, or perhaps you are even hand loading you own rounds. I have not had issues with fouling to the extent you detailed....but I have only used Federal GMM 168 bthp to date since I was able to hook up on a great price some time back after I bought the rifle. I'm thinking it could be a matter of finding the right combination of ammo and break in time. Sounds like you are seeing reductions in fouling with usage. I'm sure you are very aware of that as well. I was very prudent about initial barrel break-in and used Sweets 7.62 to swab every round for the first 15, then every third for another 15, and after every fifth for 25. Fouling has been minimal as far as my experience to date. I will eventually hand load my ammo and try to tailor rounds that further optimize accuracy and minimize fouling. I have not experienced an accuracy issues as my stick will shoot sub 1/2 MOA groups consistently. I am curious as to what ammo you have shot to date and how your groups have varied. I have read numerous articles about the TT being partial to certain types of ammo. I'm still on a learning curve as well with that aspect. thanks for your reply. [/QUOTE]
