[QUOTE="Salt Creek, post: 1258255, member: 67110"] Thanks for the advice Shortmagman. I will try the shoot and clean method. I use Hornady bullets when I reload so I may try some other brands to also see if that cuts down on the copper issue. I was using shooters choice and Hoppe's 9 to clean it during the initial shooting and sight in. This stuff didn't faze it so I moved on to Montana Extreme (which smells like anhydrous) and KG-12 which appeared to cut the copper cleaning time in half. I will most likely buy a Leupold VX-3 of some sort for it but it has to shoot better than that first... I have had a few friends and a reputable gunsmith tell me about J-B paste but I was always afraid to use it as it appeared abrasive which I feared I would screw it up. I think now is a good time to start. If this doesn't work I will more than likely contact Winchester and see if they can correct the issue. I really want this gun to work well. Your target is great, I would settle for anything around an inch. [/QUOTE]
