[QUOTE="Core781, post: 1625897, member: 106156"] I shoot bulls from the bench at 50 yards, I don't clean my barrel during the season. I have to shoot a shot to warm the barrel up into the berm to start the target. I shoot lead so copper may produce different results. From what I have seen, carbon and lead are easily dealt with most modern solvents but copper is likely problematic for those shooting stainless steel barrels. The chrome lined barrels don't seem to be bothered with copper as much. I use FrogLube as a general CLP and Butch's Bore Shine for my barrels. I use Kroil and JB for lapping of new barrels only until the barrel is lapped properly. And it's FrogLube and Solvent from there on out. FrogLube solvent is also good, I use it on my pistols and carbines. I have not tested FrogLube Solvent on copper fouling in non chrome lined barrels yet, so I'll have to wait until I test it on my SPR which is copper fouled in the lapping phase at this point.
