[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 254679, member: 7999"] Hey guys, I have a friend's rifle that I am doing some load development for. It is a 6.5-06, and has an 'older' Lilja barrel on it. I do not know the history of this barrel. When I 1st got the rifle home, I cleaned it thoroughly, but could not seem to get the faint trace of copper to quit showing up on the patches. I am using Tetra cleaner w/ a nylon brush. I thought that perhaps I was getting a trace of purple on the patches from the brass that the nylon brush is make w/. I do not get this w/ my rifles, so I think that it is in the barrel. Each time that I have shot the rifle and re-cleaned, it shows a fair amount of copper that drops down to a trace as I clean. No matter how long I clean, it will not quit tracing. This rifle is throwing fliers like I have not experienced before. I am not sure if it is the fouled barrel or that my load development is just not good. I hate to keep chasing after a load if it is the barrel. I need help guys. Thanks Steve [/QUOTE]
