JD... I think I've noticed copper fouling most, on the 17 Remington ( of the rounds I shoot ) however since the rifle was my FIL's, I don't know how it was broken in...
Dragline 45 see post #7 made by me. I addressed what Gale was talking about. How does cleaning between every shot, during sight in, and group testing, sell more barrels? Gale's perception is that these people are just wasting ammo and cleaning in order to break their rifles in. If you're shooting anyway, to test the rifles groups, reliability, sight in.
great post DRAG
although that is only one mans opinion
So... BRIAN... is that the qualities of a quality barrel, or of proper break in...
point being, if you had a roughly rifled barrel, & did the "one shot, clean" type break in, do you think it would shoot better than a quality ( smoothly ) rifled that had no "traditional" break in ???

This is a first hand account from Gale McMillan, who has forgotten more about rifles than most of us know.
