[QUOTE="bubbaonpc, post: 1772442, member: 92435"] * UPDATE * Thanks to all ! After purchasing a Bore Camera and Copper Cleaning 6 times, my last patch came out as white as it went in. I took the rifle apart, I removed the scope, Rings and Base, along with the stock. I started from scratch. LocTite all screws to factory inch lbs. Checked OGIVE, opened new can of powder...bullets...primers..brass. 5 shots at about 2.5". While barrel was warm, I put another 5 down range...1.5" (getting better) I allowed barrel to cool and put 3 in a cloverleaf and the other 2 within 3/4". The ole girl is shooting again !!! I'm sure with a little tinkering, it will go back to making one big hole. THANK YOU LRH crew ! I would have never thought the rifle needed a good copper cleaning after so "FEW" shots. Y'all saved the day ! P.S. a few times I "felt" it was clean, but after running the bore camera down, I realized it wasn't clean...I cleaned it 2 more times before it looked good. Guys, that lil $39 Amazon's Choice camera is worth every penny. I've never used a "High Dollar" camera, so I can't compare $39 vs $500...but I'm happy with it.
