[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 2587871, member: 10"] Its a very smart idea to completely clean your bore anytime you switch to any different bullet but especially a copper solid. The Hammer bullets do not seem to be as bad as barnes or other pure copper bullets in this area but its just good rifle maintenance practices. Different metals skidded over each other at high pressure and speed tend to fall in love and stick to each other to some degree. Always best practice to clean bore completely. Also do not forget after cleaning bore completely to run a couple oil soaked patches down the bore followed by a semi-tight dry patch to push out excess oil yet leaving a small film of oil on the bore surface for that first shot. A dry bore, even perfectly clean will copper foul on that first shot. Always shoot first shots on an oiled bore. Just the rifle builder in me talking out loud!! [/QUOTE]
