[QUOTE="Michael Eichele, post: 1293494, member: 1007"] Bore quality, quality of the lapping, the degree of lapping and powder choices will have a much bigger impact on fouling than the copper jackets Hornaday uses. Don't get me wrong some types of jackets historically foul more than others in most barrels but other factors also have a very large impact. Yes velocity can certainly play a noteworthy role in fouling as well. Hornaday's ELD line jackets haven't been as noticeably bad compared to some other brands in the same barrels. All that said, I've had more accuracy and velocity issues with carbon fouling than I've ever had with copper fouling. I think copper fouling gets blown out of proportion much of the time. Carbon blends in to the barrel where copper is visible as a neon sign which undoubtably attracts more attention and concern. The most accurate and consistent barrel I've ever had was a pretty strong copper fouler. [/QUOTE]
