[QUOTE="mrjashu, post: 1900176, member: 100018"] Hi Folks, This is a continuation (adding more information) of this thread that didn't get much traffic. Hopefully moving over to this forum and the additional pictures will help. [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/help-is-this-a-carbon-ring.241793/#post-1894087[/URL] A buddy gave me an old hunting rifle to work on his reloads for him. He had been running the same load for years but it suddenly stopped shooting good. Also the velocity went through the roof. He thought maybe powder lot or bullet lot changes might have been the problem. I shot it a little bit with some very light loads (according to the book) and pressure was bad right from the start. I did a light cleaning on the rifle, patches only no brushing. So is this a carbon ring, and possibly the source of the pressure issue?
