ok you did good..Well I went a head and ordered 2 boxes of Hornady 150 SST, 2 boxes of Winchester silver balistic tips, and 1 box of the Wichester power max bonded to break the barrel in. Hopefully after I get the barrel broken in with the cheap power max bonded it will like one of the other 2 rounds. If not I'll have to try some 165's.
the 150gr hornady will be shorter than the silvertips so best COAL can be determined.
Now watch for copper fouling on a new bore, use a dedicated copper solvent.
After that box of cheap ammo (cheap, yeah right) you'll stop seeing copper in the lands.
The reason for removing excess copper is so your shots burnish the steel, not just running over copper. Hopefully I didn't just start a big war over clean or not clean
