What's the concensus on how often to remove copper fouling from rifle bores. I am a bowhunting fanatic and this is not my area of expertise. Shooting is something I do to fill in the time between archery seasons. Some of my shooting buddies use copper stripper religiously when they clean their rifles every time they shoot. Others swear that it will move the point of impact several inches and require another 20 shots to bring it back to where it the scope is sighted. Also, I can find copper deposit in my Bushmaster AR-15 barrel after a few shots. I can run 30 rounds through my .223 Contender and copper solvent patch will come out clean? What gives?
