[QUOTE="mrjashu, post: 1908393, member: 100018"] I just wanted to give an update on this. I gave the barrel a deep cleaning over several days with four different solvents. I now have nicknamed that rifle "the copper mine" because of a the gobs of copper that came out of it. The copper was followed by gobs of carbon. I went out and shot it, ran a quick ladder charge test and it pressured up normally! Hurray! Incidently I couldn't make much of a dent in the band of carbon that sits in front of the case mouth but I was able to remove all the carbon in the throat area. I chambered a case and ran the bore scope down the muzzle end and verified that indeed the case ends right at the edge of that black band. In any case the rifle is shooting good again. Thanks for all the suggestions! [/QUOTE]
