LRPV cleaning report

[favload]

I thought some might be interested to see how the Savage LRPV in 6BR fouls after 60 rounds shooting Varget 30.5gr and Berger bullets. And I am interested to know how my barrel compares to a custom Shilen etc. in terms of fouling?
The top row shows the following: 1 patch using Hoppes, a second hoppes patch and then a 10 minute wait followed by a nylon brush,5 strokes)followed by clean patches.
The bottom row is a series of patches using Shooters Choice copper solvent,10 minute wait), nylon brush and more clean patches. Again, this is after 60 rounds,100 since cleaning with copper solvent) I am sort of surprised how little the barrel fouls compared to others. I included two of my 100yd targets for fun.

First, those are some pretty nice targets!

Second, based on the second row, I'd say your barrel doesn't foul much. I typically clean at about 40 rounds, and it is mostly loose carbon,soot). I use WipeOut to take out the trace copper. Wipe-Out does leave a little carbon at the edge of lands/grooves--but that doesn't seem to affect accuracy.
