I have a 1980's built Remington 700 PSS that shoots like a house on fire (~1/4 moa with 168 SMK & AMAX hand loads) but the copper fouling is excessive and difficult to remove, even after about 25-30 rounds. Also, there is a slight constriction in the bore about 6" from the muzzle that is quite noticeable when cleaning with a jag. I went ahead and bought the Tubb's "Final Finish" kit to try and help cut down on the copper fouling and even out the bore, but I'm afraid I'll mess up the rifle's inherent accuracy.
Should I just go for it or is there another option? I also realize the different bullet brands have variations in the jacket composition, but they all shed copper equally bad in this rifle.
