    Differing opinions on that one.

    Excessive fouling is not a good thing, but some folks believe that you should not necessarily clean out all the copper. Barrels vary tremendously, best thing IMHO is to see what works from observed results and go with that... You may find that your barrel shoots very well with some fouling, or you may find it is at it's best when completely stripped of copper.
