If you have a barrel that doesn't seem to foul excessively....
How often do you try to remove the copper fouling?

Most will say not until you notice a change in accuracy that's measurable from your shooting logged performance. That may vary for your barrel, stated round counts seems to be over 500.

Yeah... makes sense. It came up when Pappabear was watching the Magpul Precision shooting video. He says Home Boy doesn't worry about copper that much.... more concerned with carbon fouling.

Cold bore vs Clean Bore...

If you remove copper, you're changing the bearing surface of the barrel. I don't remove copper unless I start to get accuracy problems. Carbon gets removed after every range trip. Just a shot of degreaser and brush, patch until clean, run an oil patch, then a clean patch...done.

I played around with my AI and the Bartlein barreled 700 and nothing matters concerning cleaning methods in regards to the cold bore or clean cold bore.
From my experience, barrel quality is the main ingredient.

I shot a shilen barrel that you could clean out of whack.... but it'd settle back in in 3 shots.
Our factory 700s stack holes out of the gate.
