Quick question on copper fouling

I recently built a 6.5x284. I have a Benchmark barrel on it and it still copper fouls quite a bit. I currently have 160 rounds through it. It shoots very well but I hate the fact that it fouls so much.

Is this just the result of the caliber. I have had other barrels and they have cleaned up much easier than the Benchmark, but they were different calibers.

It takes me quite a while with Kroil and Sweets to get all of the copper out. The carbon fouling cleans easily.

Any suggestions, comments?????
