[QUOTE="Ksmirk, post: 1273995, member: 6555"] Well I finally got on my computer and read thru your posts and I can't say enough that if you could find someone with a bore scope to look your barrel over. I had one rifle that I ended up having to get in there and polish it up as the factory job wasn't the best and like your saying it would copper up PDQ! I fought it for awhile then gave up and pulled the barrel. I had one barrel from a big name once that coppered up real bad! like 10 rounds it looked like a gold mine.... sent in bore scope pics and got 2 replacement barrels as it seems the one I got somehow got past the polishing process with out getting polished. My poor 223 that is getting a new tube has a touch over 6K rounds on a factory Savage barrel, it shot on a bad day 1/2" then it was like a light switch was tripped and it opened up to over an inch, next trip it was colder and it just kept getting worse. Back when I had my 250 I never had good luck with the NBT's but 50gr VMax and H380 worked rather well. I would clean it up real well and find someone who can scope the barrel, the 250 is a touch harsh on barrels, JB bore paste and some real tight fitting patches with a mess of hard work and I've heard about a process with 0000 steel wool but I've not found anything on it. Find someone with a bore scope so you can real see what's going on or I'm afraid it'll drive you batty trying to guess at things! from reading and seeing your patches it looks like something change in your bore and it's gotten rough.
