Removing copper buildup
I still don't understand. Have 5000+ rounds easily through one of my SBRs and I've never used anything more than a boresnake through it.
I also shoot regularly to 300 yards, but only use M855. Accuracy is still acceptable.
Are these regimens for Recce's with 77gr ammo? Not being a dick, genuinely curious. I've never once removed copper from a bore of anything other than bolt guns.
What Euro is getting at, is that copper in a chrome lined bore doesn't hurt anything.
I put a little over 12K through a Colt SOCOM barrel and it was cleaned twice, copper never removed. I could not detect any accuracy difference at 12K.
I have a stainless barrel.
There are almost as many gun cleaning philosophies as there are guns and I don't think there is a right one or wrong one. It's whatever you prefer to do.

Wipe Out give me the most green on the patches, and you can leave it in however long you like.
I did an experiment with Sweet's 762 on a sectioned barrel, dabbing a little on each day, same spot. Seeing if I could see any kind of damage or explanation for the "don't leave it on longer than 15 minutes" thing. No harm I could see-- just a very clean spot!
I've been using a foam cleaner in my stainless barrel as well, the Break Free version. It makes cleaning a breeze and leaves the bore immaculate. It's ammonia free and supposedly non-toxic.
I've experimented with putting disassembled bolt parts into a glass bowl and covering them with the foam. After fifteen minutes, the parts wipe clean with a paper towel.
