[QUOTE="Warren Jensen, post: 20729, member: 21"] David, I hope you don't take this in the wrong way, but you've made a couple of huge jumps in logic and I need to back you up a little. First, there is no one way to correctly clean a rifle. Different types of fouling, with different bullets and barrels, will require adjusting your cleaning methods. Make sure that when you clean your barrel it ends up clean. Check it after each sequence. Adjust for what seems to be working. I could, and many others reading this could, write at great lengths about cleaning a barrel, but some of this will have to be learned through experience. Second, assuming that you have the perfect handloads, before you have shot them is fairly presumptive. From the results that you have listed your rifle may have a definite preference for a controlled start pressure, but there is more than one way to do this. Seating the bullets at the lands is just one way. By the way, where those three groups that you listed occurred in the sequence relative to when you last cleaned your rifle is fairly important. Lastly, do not assume that heavy fouling and a high pressure/high velocity load are unrelated. [/QUOTE]
