Hey guys, the name's Brendan.
But anywho, I got a question regarding copper fouling. I have a Savage 111 in 30-06 that I got last august and unfortunately I have only put about 100 rounds through it, maybe less. Just recently I looked at the muzzle and I noticed some definite copper fouling in the grooves of the rifling. I went to a gunsmith and didn't show him, but he said ahh yeah that stuff will come out with a lot of Hoppe's 9. He didn't seem to get the point that I've tried that many many times (I'm pretty religious on cleaning my guns). I'll attach a pic at the bottom of what it looks like, but it just seems that it is a lot of copper fouling for a little less than 100 rounds through it. Bad barrel maybe? I also shoot remington core-lokts, which I like very very much. How much copper fouling can decrease the accuracy to a noticeable amount? Or am I just being paranoid?
Much appreciated
