[QUOTE="Swamplord, post: 1381882, member: 2460"] Not buying the Accubond vs Berger fouling/galling bit, I've fired both in my stainless 338 Edge, sometimes upwards of a hundred rounds before cleaning, ranging from +80 F temps down to -40 F, the 300 gr Accubond was my usual hunting bullet and the 300 gr Berger EH was my long range backup, killed game with both and shot a bunch of these bullets with several powders, recently have used Chinchaga RBTST, Hornady ELDM & ELDX, Swift AFrame, Nosler Accubond & ABLR and Barnes TSX & LRX, firing all bullets with different powders during load development without cleaning in between, and not only in the 338 Edge but in 4 other wildcats in different bullet diameters in different barrel brands, rifling type and twists, all built on Rem 700 actions, Back in the 90's I exclusively used a 300 Win Mag and 8mm Rem Mag for all my hunting and used the original Barnes X bullets and Swift A Frame bullets, both bullets had reputations of bad copper fouling for different reasons but never had any severe pressure issues firing multiple rounds each without cleaning, and again in similar temps as mentioned above there is something else going on here [/QUOTE]
