[QUOTE="Blwebster, post: 1023763, member: 82312"] I prefer to retain a small amount of copper wash in the barrel, and my main focus is removing powder fouling. I no longer do BR shoots but hunt big game, and when I have shot enough rounds that the accuracy begins to fall off, then I take out all the copper like you said...but before hunting, I clean the oil or CLP from the bore, visit the range and shoot bench style (with my sweet spot 3/8 inch group loads) until I see the really tight groups reappear. Few rifles I have shot with at high pressures show exceptional accuracy with no copper wash in the barrel. One of my 700 mil spec 5r rifles comes the closest, and is also the easiest to clean.
