[QUOTE="Bullet bumper, post: 934909, member: 17844"] I have seen barrels so badly copper fouled that they were causing high chamber pressures and horrible accuracy , it took numerous applications of Ferric chloride PC board etchant to disolve the copper and powder layers as bore solvent was too slow . Some people just shoot their gun for years without proper cleaning until the accuracy goes way off and then sell the gun because they think the barrel is worn out . What happens is the copper builds up until you get one high recoil shot and some gets stripped out and it settles again for a while . [/QUOTE]
