Is copper fouling real or is it something we’re being coaxed into thinking is a problem?
I’ve been shooting for 50+ years and throughout my military/law enforcement/personal shooting career, I don’t know how many 100k rounds I’ve shot that were jacketed/plated and I have never noticed any problems with barrels getting fouled to the point that it was a problem to clean or affect accuracy. Even now, I look at my barrels after every shoot and don’t see any of these problems that people are talking about. Some of the pictures I see posted look fake or exaggerated.
Are powder manufacturers pushing the ideas to sell their CFE type powders? Industry has a way of directing how people think. I keep thinking that if CFE223 and CFEPistol ever show up on the shelves again, I’d like to try them more for shooting properties than anything. Price is in line with a lot of the other powders.
I’m not saying it isn’t real. Just looking for some real opinions. I want to see who’s seeing “real” problems or is it something that just helps to keep barrels a little cleaner.
