[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 57501, member: 8947"] Consider not cleaning the bore to improve performance! Yep, many factory barrels are a bit rough and need that layer of fouling to 'smooth' things out. Only clean when accuracy degrades. Might surprise you how much better a dirty barrel shoots. Jerry PS CR-10 and janitorial grade ammonia work best to remove copper from a bore. You can also polish the bore with some JB bore lapping compound and then non embedding compound to speed up the 'break in'. [/QUOTE]
