[QUOTE="308 nate, post: 33246, member: 1920"] Hi, first thing I would do is get a good copper solvent and clean that barrel out as good as you can.It can be a very time consuming job but get it all out.Also barrel break in is VERY important.for when the chamber reamer cuts the throat of the chamber it leaves spiral machine marks that don't run paralell with the rifling.that will shave off excess copper until the machine markes are smoothed out.This is why it very important to shoot and clean,shoot and clean for the first 25 rounds in a factory barrel.In custom barrels you usually only need to shoot and clean 10 times or so.Also I like to take some JB bore paste and polish the throat of a new rifle before I shoot it.As far as taking it to a gunsmith a lot of gunsmiths don't charge to diagnose a problem and they can do so better when inspecting the rifle [img]images/icons/smile.gif[/img] good luck, 308Nate [/QUOTE]
