Going to try it out on my Remington 270WSM today. Posted pics a while back about the copper fouling and accuracy issues. By now the rifle has 150 rds through it and has been pillar and glass bedded. Accuracy is still around 1.5 inches and fouls by the 3rd shot.

Have not read any negative reviews and I have tried to find them on the net! So..... I will post up after I get back from the range...

Nope. Decided I wanted to see if I could fix it. That is part of the fun for me.
In all fairness to Remington, they did want it back. Sooo, If it gets worse then it is all my fault...

Got to the 3rd string so far following their method. Last string made a large jagged hole...Not sure on size because I have not picked up the target.

Back from the range. Got the whole kit ran through the rifle. Took nearly all day since I cleaned per their instructions which was NO copper between strings. Now I have to load up some of my handloads that I used before the Tubbs and try them Monday.

I fired all 50 at the same target and it created a large 3" hole. They recommended a low powder charge.

The barrel does seem smoother to the patch and takes less time to clean now. It still fouls the lands in the last 1 inch of barrel, but not as bad as before and takes one time with Wipe Out foam to remove the copper where before it took 3-4 times aftet only 10 rounds.

I had chrono'ed my loads before the Tubbs, so we will see. Hope the weather holds.

Got to play with a 204 Ruger during cleaning phases. NICE and FAST. Chrono avg 4100 FPS using factory Winchester. :smokin:
