Graphite Treated Barrel Test (Pics)

[DoneNOut]

This 308 WIN barrel was a copper collector. I cleaned to bare metal, light coat of CLP in bore prior to firing.
This is what it would do:

Barrel cleaned to bare metal and treated with graphite prior to firing:

Marked difference in copper collection! Here is what I used.
Sprayed thick on a patch and worked into the bore. Just let it sit caked in there for the next firing:

I thought the liquid form would be less spattery, but the liquid form never dried in the bore. So I will use aerosol.

Now I want to ty HBN.

I've been using lock eas for a month or so now and like it.

I'll have say your getting handier and handier. Do the HBN now. And if your up to it do it with say 10 rounds fired

Interesting. Where did you hear of that? Also, did you happen to do any before/after velocity measurements to see how it affects that?

So did you dry patch out the lock ease? That's what I do or did you just let it dry then shoot?

I did clean the chamber, but not throat area. 35 cal size brush wrapped with a 12ga patch

So you just soak a patch, work it into the bore, let dry, then shoot? How often do you reapply?

Interesting. Any noticeable difference in groups?

Yassir! I clean after every range session with foam solvent. 1 hour sit gets everything out now easily. Then I work the graphite into the bore. Prepped for next range trip.

Everything holding tight. I notice a lack of flyers.
Edited to add: Possibly due to elimination of first shot clean bore flyers...
