[QUOTE="Veteran, post: 2255115, member: 118038"] As some one else pointed out, if you've never cleaned out copper with something specially made to get copper out, you may have some fouling build up. Scope mounts and all the frame screws is also a great thing to check first. Best way to maybe assess your barrel for both copper, throat erosion, and whether the lands are shot out, is to borescope it. That will tell you a lot. Teslong borescope costs $65 or you can find a gunsmith or friend with one. For cleaning copper fouling out, I like Boretech CU 2+ If you have shot 1500 rounds and only ever used Hoppes 9 bore cleaner, I would bet you have some copper. [/QUOTE]
