Both my gunsmith and Shilen told me the exact same thing. So I put 100 rounds through my Shilen and when I cleaned the bore there was next to zero copper. Perhaps if I'd have taken the time to ruff the bore a bit with a cleaning rod I may have been more justified in a good copper cleaning.  Shod Another thing my friend and gunsmith noted was about bore roughness and copper fouling. He's seen pristine, mirror-like bores copper foul horribly and bores that look like rough, rat tail files completely void of copper fouling. He believes copper fouling is more of a "Metalurgy" issue than a bore finish issue

Savage must love that copper grabbing variation of 4140.

RD,
I'm not sure exactly what Lubalox is either, but it sure ain't moly. It does seem to cut down on fouling, though more so in some barrels than other. I never have been able to see any inside a bore, while moly is pretty obvious, especially in a borescope.

Check out the Beanland 308 thread in this forum. The barrel is yet to be cleaned.

I tried to find some info through a search and the only thing that kept popping up was that is some kind of oxide coating. I been waiting for them to make a run of 308, 168 gr bullets for my 30/06 and it's been over a year at least since I've seen a box any where, even places that jack up the price to almost $50 a box. I called Nosler back in July and they said a production run was scheduled for early Sept. They said it would have hit the dealers by early Oct and it never happened. Called them again and now they are saying early December. When they finally do, I'm buying an arse load of em. Seen the 180's often, but I've got a ton of them for my 300 WM.

I use the Big Stick beak in procedure but I do it before I have the smith cut the chamber. I guess you could call it a pre break in procedure.
