I would agree with TN Hunter and Sothrdnk about the shot stringing.

For the copper fouling. Take the barrel and action off of the stock. Warm a block of parrafin and FIRMLY press the crown of the muzzle into this block. then pour CR-10 into the chamber end until the barrel is full. set in the corner or place in a vertical gun vise for a few hours. Dump out the CR-10 and pop off the parrafin. Run some patches (or a brush) through the barrel a few times. Repeat. Repeat. Repeat.

If this does not get the fouling out... there is always dynamite...<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>
