[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 2675909, member: 109862"] Agreed BUT…there are some ways around this issue 😁. In my old savage 99 .243 (worn barrel, Defintely fouling easy) I’m going to be loading a bunch of old 75 grain original x bullets I won on auction for cheap. At that bullet weight the bearing surface isn’t so long, so that’s one help already But my main approach is twofold: 1. Hexagonal Boron Nitride. I’ve treated these bullets with HBN and will clean and treat the bore of the rifle likewise. It reduces friction and fouling like crazy in other rifles I’ve tried. Far superior to what Barnes tried to do with their old xlc. Hbn is the last word in friction reducing bullet coatings. 2. A copper erasing powder. I have a good stash of CFE223 at the moment. Should be an acceptable burn rate for a 75 grain hbn bullet in 243. [/QUOTE]
