[QUOTE="rustyshackleford, post: 1834675, member: 59526"] Only remove all the copper if accuracy drops or if you have a particularly rough barrel and are “breaking it in”. A quality aftermarket barrel won’t need to be stripped of copper as often nor will it deposit as quickly. Boretech eliminator is my product of choice. I usually run 3-4 wet patches and let is soak for 15 min and then run another wet patch or one of their brushes soaked in boretech every 15 minutes 3x, so it sits in my barrels for ~45 min. Usually 2 cycles gives clean patches and unlike ammonia based solvents there is no risk of damaging your barrel by leaving it in too long. If a rifle has been shot hundreds or thousands of rounds you MAY need to use something abrasive like JB’s or Boretech chameleon, assuming you’ve tried a quality solvent and accuracy still hasn’t returned. One of boretech’s personnel explained this to me in detail. [/QUOTE]
