[QUOTE="BLC3128, post: 1636673, member: 101837"] Just an update. I did find a fairly accurate combo that was on the hotter side. 76.4 gr RL25 pushing the 160 Accubonds to the tune of 3245. Unfortunately this combinations copper- fouls the sh!t out of the bore. I can only get about 3 -4 shots out of it before it’s a dud. I am very meticulous with my cleaning procedures. I exclusively use KG products with all of my firearms. I have attempted to polish the bore so much I’m afraid I’ll start taking barrel life away!! I even attempted to “re-brake” the barrel in (shoot 1 , full carbon/copper clean, repeat for 10; shoot 3 , full carbon/copper clean for 9, shoot 5, clean...) The cleaning did get easier and the fouling did decrease a tad as I progressed through this, but I’m very weary of how much copper is still building up , even after 1 Shot!! I think I wasted enough powder and bullets with the 160s...I will try and drop to 140gr Accubonds next. My only Speculation is - does the barrel not like the Accubond bullet altogether? [/QUOTE]
