i've been reading alot of people on here saying that the best accuracy comes from a fouled barrel.
1. do you guys think that a fouled barrel is going from a clean (brushed, patched, dried, oiled) barrel and firing a couple primers? No, that would not be a fouled barrel IMO.
2. or is it fouled but actually firing a charge of powder? Yes if you fire a charge of powder, then it is fouled.
3. or is it still fouled if you fire a round, wet/dry patch the barrel and reload?Yes that would be a fouled barrel.

Whether I foul a bore or not depends on the rifle I am going to shoot. If the rifle shoots way out of a group on a clean VS fouled bore, then I foul the bore. If the rifle (like my Whites) needs the fouled bore to help seat the projectile better, then I foul the bore.
