[QUOTE="PrairieGhost, post: 307340, member: 704"] I use Wipe Out and let my rifles set overnight. The first patch out of my Savages come out in the morning with a wad on the end of the patch like blue bubble gum. My rifles with Bartlien barrels may have a slight blue ting if I have 100 rounds through it. Needless to say none of my Savages have Savage barrels anymore. I did send in one Savage (blue heavy fluted 6.5 Creedmoor) to the manufacture because it was so rough subsonics dropped from 1000fps to 500fps in five shots. The milling marks on the lands looked like a railroad track. They shipped it back with the best Savage barrel I have ever looked down, but it still picked up so much copper it had to be cleaned after 50 rounds. At 100 rounds it was replaced with a Centurion. It was accurate Ill give them that. It would put five shots in .2 to .25 inch. Now it sits in the corner of my safe with factory 308 and 300 Win mag. [/QUOTE]
