G'Day Fella's,

Thank you for your input into this discussion.

I suppose I should have stated that I was referring to Factory barrels, at some time during this thread. I have also applied my standard cleaning procedure to hand lapped, Match grade barrels from Maddco and Tobler (both Australian). These are fitted to my own personal rifles.
The Maddco is in .22-250 AI and the Tobler, is in .308 Win. Both these rifles, shoot better than I can but they both initially used to copper foul from new. They now don't easily copper foul.
With the .308, in my attempt to get it to shoot the usual 1/2" to 5/8" groups, with the original Barnes X bullets, I once fired more than 30 shots straight with out cleaning. I eventually figured out that to get these bullets to shoot to what was usual for this rifle, I had to seat the bullets out to touch the rifling. Prior to this it was 4" 3 shot groups at 100 meters!
Anyway, when it came time to clean the barrel of this .308, I was surprised that there was virtually no copper fouling!

So, I just keep running them all in and cleaning them, as usual.

And I believe that, what ever works for you, Do It!

The original reason that I posted this, was to let others know, How I Do It.
