Have a Rem 700 Classic in 17 Rem. Never had any trouble with powder fouling. Just wondering what powder you were using. Don't use it anymore for 'yotes. Not that it's not capable of downing them with one shot. Main problem has become the numbers of new people trying the sport, they're a lot more cautious now that they've been educate. 5 years ago the average shot was no more than 75yds and more like 50yds. Now I'm lucky to get them inside 150 and over 200yds isn't that uncommon. On a calm day I've taken them easily @ 150yds with a 17 Rem. Now I only carry a Swift on them and use the 17, at times, for 'chucks.
