[QUOTE="WapitiBob, post: 2351860, member: 38015"] I cleaned my rifle this morning after 100 rounds of 143 hammers (140 hammers total on the barrel); 5 patches and carbon was gone, 3 patches and zero copper. The only copper I had seen in this rifle was bullet #1 down the barrel. I then went out and test shot 9 pcs 180 Berger vld and 10 pcs Barnes lrx. It took a dozen patches to get rid of the carbon, roughly 15 patches and almost 2 hours to get rid of the copper. Test is done, this barrel won't see anything but hammers going forward. [/QUOTE]
