[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 508250, member: 3733"] Are the bullets going thru the target canted or sideways? I suspect that barrel is to far gone to be any good, and scrubbing the hell out of it with abrasive isn't going to help matters any. If the barrel was rusted and pitted and you scrub with a bronze brush and oil thats fine, you are removing the bad stuff, rust ect. But using a metric ton of abrasive is going to remove the good steel that remains, and by the sounds of it you have very little to spare.:rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
