[QUOTE="Austin, post: 8997, member: 1956"] Sweets and Hoppe's BenchRest work pretty well, but, the winner, hands-down, is the Outers Foul-Out Electrochemical bore cleaner. Since you have a rough bore, some Cu fouling is a good thing since it helps to fill in all the minor imperfections present. If you remove it ALL, you will definitely notice a diff in POI on first shooting. The Outers system is what I use to clean ALL my bores when Cu fouling becomes a problem. Otherwise, I use the Hoppe's BenchRest and a SMALL amount of JB. It works for the custom bbl on my 1k yd rifle and it works like a charm. It is a tedious process, but there is none better when it comes to getting ALL of the Cu out. As said above, the Cu "wash" at the muzzle end is actually beneficial most of the time as long as it does not become too excessive. You can find the Foul-Out system for 40 or 50 bucks on Ebay and it's worth every penny. So, if you are tired of brushing.... it's the only way to go bro. Just my .02. TH One way to tell if you have excessive Cu fouling is to look down the bbl (with a bore scope if you have one) and see if the edges of the rifling are sharp and crisp. If you do not see the distinctive edge on the rifling, then your bbl is either getting worn, or you have excessive Cu fouling. [ 01-20-2004: Message edited by: Austin ] [/QUOTE]
