    G'Day Fella's,

    I've had a good laugh with your replies!
    Bald Bob, any chance of opening a Copper Mine?

    What I was doing with this particular barrel, was running it in.
    It took over 50 shots, before it started to stop jacket fouling, like in the above image but its pretty good now!

    Again, this is what it looks like after I have run a clean wet with solvent patch thru it, to get rid of the powder fouling.
    This image was taken after I had fired 32 Hot loads, thru the rifle!
    As you can see, there is still traces of Copper jacket fouling, but no where near as much as when the rifle/barrel was new!

    Doh!
