[QUOTE="Laelkhunter, post: 1877116, member: 38154"] You might have to shoot a couple rounds to lightly foul the bore, then it should settle back to where it was before it went to crap. I have read in numerous places that if you change bullets from cup & core to mono or vice-versa you should try to remove the copper before shooting the new bullets. Has something to do with the copper in the barrel from the previous bullets being harder (or softer) causing more copper to be stripped from the new bullets. Could be wrong, maybe someone that can explain it better will chime in. edited to add: we were typing at the same time, so my reply kinda duplicates yours. [/QUOTE]
