Factory load and my reloads all work fine -- 7 mm Weatherby and 160-grain FTBT. Cleaning is no different than copper or cup-and-core bullets.

Do they foul out a barrel as quick as an all copper bullet ?

I shoot them all of the time in my .300 WSMs, and have not noticed a quick 'foul out' of the barrels.

My break-in and cleaning regimen would keep me from knowing the difference. Shooting Hornady ELD-X and Nosler Ballistic Tips this go-round.

I'd expect zero difference as the nickeled bullets have, as I understand it, a baked on coating -- not like moly. Barnes bullets might be a bit worse, but again my cleaning wouldn't say much about it.
