How are GMX for copper fouling in barrels?
I haven’t been shooting them in this rifle long enough to have any signs of fouling yet. I don’t shoot this gun enough to probably have any issue with them. I bought the rifle last fall and only took about 10 shots the day I sighted it in at the range. Since then I’ve only fired 5 rounds out of it with 2 wolves, 1 bull moose, this latest Whitetail and 1 really mean looking grouse hitting the dirt.

The down side with using the 165gr GMX factory ammo in a 308 is that they have an issue with not expanding much past 300 yards. Same issue any mono bullet has when velocity drops off. That’s not much of an issue with this being the gun I pack on the river or when going for a hike in the thick stuff. I’ve got a couple other rifles set up for long-range bombing on the open prairies if I need to reach out there a bit.
