[QUOTE="bigngreen, post: 1385879, member: 13632"] One thing that one has to remember is this is a RUM diameter case so taking it to nuclear level had a pile more bolt thrust and much less meat around the shank part of the barrel. The bore is definitely fouled but I'm trying to figure out a way to measure the bore and see if I can put a number to it, the fouling is significantly rough so I don't think slugging will work till it's cleaned. Trying to get good borescoped pics is hard but I'm trying to get decent quality pics through the Hawkeye, the copper is chunky in some places on the pressure side of the lands and I'm trying to get a decent pic of that also copper in the grooves. I see no evidence of anything in the bore, no gouging or anything odd. Lots of copper and carbon fouling starting a couple inches in, heavy in the middle then clearing up in the last few inches and more normal looking. No carbon ring or anything in the neck. [/QUOTE]
