[QUOTE="Trnelson, post: 1309216, member: 42308"] You may not be as bad off as you think you are. Any time I change powders or bullets I fully de-copper and clean the barrel and chamber of any powder residue or carbon. Different powders deposit differently and different bullets deposit jacket material at differnt rates and sometimes really don't play well with each other. When I start with a new powder or bullet I load 7-10 minimum charged rounds and use them to foul in the barrel and run them over the magnetospeed to make sure the velocity makes sense and that the optic is roughly adjusted to the POI. Also, it may be a bullet related issue. I'm shooting the 143(ish) ELDX to finish off a couple of older barrels and have to remove the copper fouling every 40 rounds or the accuracy goes away, real far, real quick. Several others have also reported rapid copper fouling that drastically effects accuracy.... Just some things to check and exclude. [/QUOTE]
