[QUOTE="Mateo, post: 1082883, member: 77067"] I sure will Rich, of the 30 rounds fired that day and cleaning every shot for 3, then every 3rd shot 3 times, then every 5-10th shot till done. By the end I noticed very little copper fouling. The first few rounds had crazy copper. I was surprised to show pressure signs with 63 gr H1000. It was shooting fast. I set up the crony and got 3220 fps with only my second shot down the barrel. I'll crony it again with a magnetospeed after some more shots down the tube and see if it speeds up much. The H4831sc at 57 gr was pushing the 130 gr VLD's just over 3000 fps. That was expected. But again, one of the first shots from this barrel. It's a 25.5" gain twist barrel. Maybe it won't speed up? either way, I having a lot of fun! The recoil is very similar to a .308. Just a longer pulse. But that same smooth push. I'm gonna load up the rest of my fireforming cases with the 4831 and have some fun trigger time. [/QUOTE]
