[QUOTE="tbrice23, post: 1099595, member: 59502"] Quote Johnnyk tbrice23; Deep cleaned it before leaving to go shoot. No carbon or copper left that I could tell. I use an ammonia based cleaner and patches went from carbon dirty, slight blue tinge to totally white within 9 patches. What are some tings I can do to look for a carbon ring? If I do have one, how do I rid my barrel of it? JohnnyK.[/QUOTE] Barrow a buddy's bores scope or drag a patch and brush back through and you might feel more resistance neer the throat. Supposedly it is a hardened carbon GLAZE. Carbon deposits accumulated and repeayedly subjected to the highest pressures outside of the chamber. The reason I ask is that I know how dirty Retumbo burns in this particular chambering. It has been suggested using ISSO or some other mild abrasive only in the throat area, but I can't bring myself to do that. But I will suggest Boretech C4 carbon remover. [/QUOTE]
