[QUOTE="Vasily, post: 2550380, member: 122163"] This is very common on all my rifles, both hunting and competition. The place you describe is where the heat and pressure are the greatest. Cleaning carbon is fruitless without an abrasive like iosso or jb borepaste. Nobody wants to hear "abrasive" in the same sentence as barrel but iosso and jb have never harmed my barrels. I get average round counts before changing barrels and they shoot much much better without the carbon during the life I have the barrel mounted. Carbon is an accuracy killer. It's sticky, builds up on itself and causes inconsistency down a bore. I don't have many credentials but I recently watched a few videos with Erik Cortina and Jack Neary discussing cleaning and carbon. Check em out and decide for yourself. As for the stock and angle of your rod: I've always cleaned breech to muzzle but many fellas with more miles than me clean the opposite. It doesn't matter as long as your careful with the crown. Absolutely do everything in your power not to bang stuff on the crown....protect it with your life. Best rifle in the world can, will and have shot horrible with a damaged crown. [/QUOTE]
