I've experienced some copper fouling this week that was bad enough that my new PPQ Q5 9mm's slide would not completely close. I shoot a whole lot of Xtreme bullets, and lately I have been working up a mid load for this gun that would shoot relatively well with another. I haven't experience this kind of problem with any of my other guns I shoot copper plated bullets through, and this PPQ is relatively new to me being a few months old. It does have about 1000 rounds thru it now. I pulled out a nice copper ring with a copper cleaning brush today that kept the slide from closing with a 1.062 COL Xtreme 124 FP.
Maybe the PPQ's tolerances are tighter than the other guns I have as it does group very nicely. I'm curious as to others who might be experiencing this type of copper fouling/build up also, and if so, what are your barrel cleaning habits?
