[QUOTE="goodgrouper, post: 75476, member: 2852"] Chris, I have never had a carbon build up problem in any of my rifles but my uncle gets it all the time in his 6mm-284. It is true carbon build up that must be scraped out with a brush. RL22 will make the patches blacker than h4831sc will, but that is not necessarily carbon build up you are seeing. It is probably the deterrent coating on the powder combined with other things. [ QUOTE ] 1. Will the same powder carbon foul differently in different rifles? [/ QUOTE ] As of yet, I have only seen it on hotrod 6mm's with 3 groove barrels but I would tend to believe that any super overbore rifle with the right powder/primer combo could get it. [ QUOTE ] 2. Does velocity/pressure affect carbon fouling? If so, how? [/ QUOTE ] It seems to be the only thing that does. [ QUOTE ] Will the bullet used affect the amount of carbon fouling? [/ QUOTE ] Changing bullets did nothing to prevent the build up in my uncles rifle. However, he did notice that the carbon ring left in his throat blew up AMAX's and Bergers. The only bullet he can shoot is Sierra's because of their tougher jacket. hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
