[QUOTE="jarnold37, post: 1964349, member: 29241"] After chambering a top name barrel and installing it on a top name custom action the first shots were clean between shots. Even though the barrel was 36" long and a high velocity round, the barrel was copper fouling badly in the last 4" of the barrel. Talking to the action manufacturer the topic was brought up of the copper fouling. He asked how it was cleaned. Sweets, shooters choice and then dry patches. He exclaimed with authority "do not ever shoot with a clean dry barrel" Did you not think of the friction taking place?"He said with no lubricant that bullet is hot and melting on that first shot, especially with a long barrel. The first shot will leave "lubricant behind in a lubricated bore and never expect the fist shot to be with the following shots, especially if it is with a clean dry bore that has melted or scraped a percentage of bullet jacket.
