Very good read and informative. Especially on the cleaning part


“Top shooters never pull a metal brush backward through the bore and will only use a nylon brush (to remove powder fouling) and patches. You should never need to clean a good barrel with a metal brush!”

I did not know copper can foul the barrel.

As a former bechrest competitor, yes, copper fouling can be bad, but today there is a good source and products to help removing this, easier today then when I competed. Good article and link thanks Bob.
