As I have experienced, the number of rounds fired at Skippy in Cedarville can run into a couple hundred per rifle per day. Wanted to get some feedback from the veteran squirrel shooters on how many rounds between cleaning the barrel. I typically change rifles out so not to overheat the barrel, which...

Looking into the Volquartsen semi auto rifles in 17 HMR, anyone out there have one? Any feedback would be appreciated, thanks.

Finally getting around (only been 10 months!) to posting on this issue, JB was the ticket, the Tikka is BACK! Now shooting like it used to with the 39 BK's. That stuff really does work.

Thanks for all of the advice from the experienced shooters on this forum. I'll have an idea how the cleaning went after I shoot it this weekend, might be trying Rick's recipe next if I am still having issues. Need to get this rifle back on track for an upcoming trip to NE CA to visit skippy. Will al...

Finally got a look down the barrel with a borescope, appears copper fouling is the culprit. I had assumed (and after what i had read) that the Shooter's Choice would take care of the copper, not so, especially after I took some CR10 to the barrel and many blue patches later. Will get out this weeken...

The Bore Tech C4 is a carbon remover. After the initial cleaning with Shooter's Choice, the Bore Tech typically shows that Shooter's Choice did not get get all of the carbon. I will probably try Sweet's 7.62 and see how the patches come out, in addition to getting the bore scoped. As I first mention...

I use Shooter's Choice followed up with BoreTech C4. I'll take it in and have the barrel checked out, thanks for the replies.

Probably around 2000-2500, it's made a few trips up to Cedarville.

I have a Tikka T3 Stainless Steel Varmint (heavy barrel) rifle in .204. I have been reloading the Sierra 32 and 39 BK's behind RL10x (2.260 overall length) for several years, the rifle has always been a tack driver. All of a sudden the 39's are all over the target, including some keyholes, the 32's ...
