Without reading Mule Deer's article, I can't comment on it. I have an enormous amount of respect for the man and so won't make a comment on his technic I'm sure it's great. However, one of the things that I still employ from the John Burn's videos "How to shoot beyond belief" was to soak the copper from a barrel. He shows you how to plug the breach of a barrel and then drop copper solvent down the bore to apply a much more liberal amount of copper disolving reagent to the bore without scrubbing.
It's a great method, I can take a barrel from very copper fouled to entirely copper free with usually something on the order of 10 to 12 patches. Very effective, although I've learned to use a rubber plug with a hole drilled in the back of it and an old 22 jag glued into place to plug the breach. It takes a little bit of time but is very effortless and effective.
I'm often surprised that more people don't use it or comment on it.

"I'm really surprised that a full blown custom rifle won't shoot itty bitty groups with Varget and 165 ballistic tips. They should be piling into one ragged hole"
Me, too. On Saturday and today, at least, the rifle shoots 165 and 168 grain Ballistic Tips quite well, if not into itty bitty one ragged hole groups. Cheers, GrimJim

Clean the bore? Now that's a new idea.
