copper fouling

It depends on the smoothness of the barrel, and the bullet fired. I have rifles that need serious cleaning after shooting only a handful of Barnes bullets. My rifles with custom barrels do much better than the ones with factory tubes.

Be SURE to use a bore guide.
More barrels are ruined by guys with a cleaning rod than any other reason.
This should help get you started in the "right" direction;

To be sure it depends on your individual barrel. Some collect copper fouling faster than others. Normally an amonia based solvent is good for removing solvent. But I can't tolerate the smell. I've found recently that Hoppes has a product called Elite which is a lead and copper remover. It works really well and without the stong aroma of the amonia type solvents.
