[QUOTE="WRG, post: 284823, member: 13638"] The first thing I would do is clean that barrel [B][U]totally free[/U][/B] of copper & carbon & moly. From your post I would think this will take you a while to accomplish. I would buy 60 rounds the cheapest copper jacketed bullets you could find. Bullet weight makes no difference! I would then do a proper break-in from there. When the barrel is broken in you will notice that it will clean 100 times faster than when you first started. The key is to clean it thoroughly after each round for the first three than fire 3 rounds, then clean. Fire 5 rounds and clean than 5 more and clean. Than ten rounds & clean. Another ten and clean. keep going until the copper fouling is reduced to a minimum and the groups start to tighten up. Doing a good cleaning also allows the barrel to cool very important. I use a different target for each session of bullets or you could use the 1" Shoot N C round circles to cover the holes. But you have to make sure there is no copper visable on your patch each time you clean. It's a pain in the *** but the best thing you can do if you want that barrel to last and be accurate. You may get different people here telling you here all sorts of stuff like it's not needed, but let me say this they never did a proper break-in to their barrels and I would be willing to bet their rifle can't cut holes like all mine can or anyone else who has! I don't care what material a barrel is made out of either it still needs to be "Home Registered" some barrels just take more effort than others. I just spoke with Jesse at Bore Tech yesterday and he and I both agree that moly bullets should be avoided! The chemicals that are need to properly clean moly are just to harmful to the barrel. Also, how moly bullets work best is to let it build up on the rifling until the accuracy drops off than you have a heck of a time cleaning. That can be after 20 or after 200 rounds. I went down that ugly road and it's no fun! I will always stick to copper jacketed bullets. WRG [/QUOTE]
