[QUOTE="Shortmagman, post: 2396841, member: 10723"] A few years ago i had Bartlien replace the barrel on my Winchester Model 70 270WSM. I was quite pleased with the way the gun shot with the new barrel. However this barrel copper fouled more than any gun i have ever owned and than is more that 20. I called Bartlien and told them about the fouling. I was told to shoot 5 five shot groups and see if the accuracy deteriorated. I shot the groups and the accuracy held up. I thought as i shot more and cleaned the barrel would smooth out. That has not happened! This barrel both carbon and copper fouls like you whould not believe. I just bought a cheap bore scope and took some pictures and there is no wonder why. It looks like alligator skin. My question is what should i do? The gun still shoots well. With a number of loads it will shoot. 1/2 in three shot groups and only a few hundred rounds have been shot. Not sure exact total but maybe 300. Should i just keep shooting until the accuracy disappears? [/QUOTE]
