[QUOTE="VinceMule, post: 2880103, member: 122164"] Old Rooster, with a very tight punch type of jag, with a barrel that opens up in the middle, you would start the patch off very tight in the throat, then the patch will 'feel much looser" and then tighten again at the muzzle. It takes a slow, deliberate push on the cleaning rod with a focus on the "feel". I am dealing with a barrel like that right now. Chances are that that the heat treat is "off" on that barrel. With the OP's barrel, he should just: Find pressure on what is the max load for that powder/bullet Back off 3.0g from the max load Work up an accuracy load Velocity is what it is, accuracy trumps all because stuff is not hard to kill when you can put that bullet where it is supposed to go!
