[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 554046, member: 9172"] I just re-re-read the above posts....everyone, me included, is making a big thing about copper fouling. As we should. But copper can be physicaly or chemicaly removed...ie...brushing or copper remover and patches. Not that big of a deal, because you know weather or not if you still have copper fouling.....blue/purple patches tell the tale. CARBON.....I have not even seen the word carbon on this thread. Carbon can not be removed chemically...it needs to be physicaly removed from your bore. All of the "magic potions" in the world won't dissolve carbon. If you haven't done so, and you have more than a couple of boxes of shells fired YOU HAVE CARBON BUILDUP. Probably not serious..yet, but we have all heard of a carbon ring.. I always figured I had my BBLs spotless, that is untill I had some tubes bore scoped at a match. "BBL looks good, except for the carbon fouling the first 4 -8 inches of your tube". I got that a lot!!! And a lot of the "tough" copper is coming from little cracks and chips in the carbon buildup. I have had lots of conversations with some of the top LR benchrest shooters in the country.....and benchresters are "CLEAN FREAKS" pure and simple!!! Carbon buildup can cause PSI problems , accuracy problems, and bullet problems. What are you guys doing, if anything , about carbon? Like I said, I now use lots of ISSO, JB, and brushes....I use the ISSO on tight patches loaded with Butches. I always follow the ISSO with a brushing with LOTS of Butches and followed by dry patching. [/QUOTE]
