In a barrel that has been shot, is it necessary to clean it to the steel (remove all copper fouling) before applying the DBC?

Relax. It's not going to see the type of weather that'll warrant it. I have a couple of others, on the other hand, that do.

But if it was/is a .270?

Rev, it's gotta be REAL clean for optimal DBC application, not just sorta clean, as in no blue patches. You need to get rid of carbon, too, cleaning it down to bare steel. I use my Hawkeye borescope to make sure. Just follow the "destructions"...  DF

Nobody cares what happens to a .270.... You left the door wide open on that one, and being the gentleman I am, will not walk through it. What the heck.... I can only imagine the hatred comes from deep down emotional void from never owning and properly using a 270, you know, kind of like a virgin talking about sex.

I will be out banging away with my 375 H&H tomorrow after my first try with DBC. I scrubbed the living chitt out of that barrel before applying. Well beyond what DBC suggests just to be sure. We shall see as this piece is a fouler with the TSX I am loading.
Conduct is the best proof of character.

I will be out banging away with my 375, 9.3x64 and hopefully my 300 H&H on Friday all DBC'd.

I did not have any luck with this product, then again, it's probably "operator error" on my part..
A good principle to guide me through life: “This is all I have come to expect, standard lackluster performance. Trust nothing, believe no one and realize it will only get worse…”

I've used it in several rifle, prob 10-12, and have definitely seen a difference. First time you clean it after applying isn't a good indicator, but after that there is a huge improvement in amount of fouling.

DF Used several products to clean, to include Wipeout (with accelerator), Montana Extreme etc to where there was zero blue or any other color on the very tight patches. I applied as advertised on a 300 Weatherby, two pre-64 70s (notorious foulers) with no appreciable difference.

Odd. I saw considerable difference on several rifles, each with markedly less fouling and considerably easier to clean afterward. On muzzleloaders, I find it to be a God-send.
America needs to understand that our troops are not 'disposable'. Each represents a family; Fathers, Mothers, Sons, Daughters, Cousins, Uncles, Aunts... Our Citizens are our most valuable treasure; we waste far too many.

I've been impressed with DBC.
I treat all my barrels. The premium ones just about don't copper foul, just some carbon that goes away with TM or Eliiminator soaks. The factory barrels don't foul as bad, don't need cleaning as often.
Never underestimate the value of a borescope to see what's actually going on.
