[QUOTE="Clucknmoan, post: 1242619, member: 80034"] [b]Re: Copper Foul[/b] First I should clarify that the issue with the first barrel was purely cosmetic. They changed brake designs to something that looked a little more like a VIAS and I didn't care for it. Asked them to send me a new Brake, but they had to send an entire new Brake and barrel. The barrel for the new brakes swell a little and it wouldn't match up with the old turbo brakes. As far as how it shoots, I have no idea yet with only 11 rounds through it. Those 11 rounds were specifically to pressure test Retumbo and the 143 ELD-X'S. If this much fouling is unacceptable or unusual in a new barrel with this break in procedure, then I want to do something about it now and not waste a bunch of time and reloading components for a barrel that just isn't right. Maybe I should call McGowen and ask them what I should do? I guess at least then there would be documentation of an issue before I usend anything that would void a warranty...if one exists. [/QUOTE]
