[QUOTE="GLTaylor, post: 1777190, member: 111593"] Re: My earlier statement about foulng badly and quickly. The three rifles I shot the old TSX bullets in were a Rem Sendero 25-06, a Weatherby 7mm and a Ruger 77 in 30-06. All factory, not match quality barrels. As I said earlier, my earlier shooting was from a benchrest background. We cleaned ridiculously (or so it seems to some). I have carried that mentality forward. Even when shooting on a prairie dog field I never shoot more than 20 rounds without cleaning and letting that rifle cool (I usually take at least 5). Given this regimen, I am not used to seeing any problems with copper fouling. A good scrubbing with a bronze core brush/solvent, then numerous patches with wet, then dry patches, until the patch comes out with no blue on it. I use Butch's Bore Shine or Montana Extreme solvent. With the TSX bullets, after a day at the range working up loads or shooting for fun, I could not get the patches to come out without any blue. I shined a light and looked at the bore (don't have a bore scope). I could see visible streaks of copper at the bore. To answer the earlier question, a day at the range is my reference for "quickly and badly". [/QUOTE]
