[QUOTE="Tac-O, post: 1955480, member: 109994"] Here is an update on this issue. The first 25 rounds with the Speer hot cors created a lot of copper fouling, which I thought seemed very odd for my gun because it's always taken a LOT of shooting to pick up copper. These rounds were also the first firing on some virgin starline brass, which I haven't used before. I cleaned to steel after this. On the second 25 rounds of hot cors, I resized the starline and shot it again. Same powder and charge weights as before. No visible fouling near the muzzle!! I cleaned to steel again. On the third round of 25, I used virgin starline again. TONS of copper after 25 rounds again. I'm thinking it's got to be something about the virgin brass. Thoughts?? [/QUOTE]
