First loads with the GC!

[MaxJon]

Hi all! I am about to load some Lee C312-1552R with Lyman GC's. Any tips or advice? Do i have to clean my barrel with solvent now that i am shooting copper thru it?? I have shot a lot of cast without the GC at low velocity, (<1100 fps) but the time has come to speed things up a bit (<2000-2300fps) maybe!
Thanks in advance guys!

I've never noticed any copper left in the barrel after shooting gas checked cast boolits.

I reckon just clean it as normal, then use the good'ol Sweets 7.62, and you will soon know if your barrrel gets some copper fouling from gas checks.

Thanks Norbrat! I thought as much. the old Sweets will tell all, with the smelly blue patches! I always follow sweets thru with Hoppes No.9, as it seems to neutralize the ammonia of the sweets.
