[QUOTE="6.5x284tony, post: 1792461, member: 12928"] Hey Jon, this is perfectly normal. Anytime you have the carbon build up like you had, the bore is actually choked down, which in return creates more pressure. Before getting my borescope years ago, I started sticking bullets in my chamber when trying to open the bolt on a unfired round. A friend that was already familiar with the carbon ring issue told me that the ring was grabbing the bullet and pulling it out of the case as it was being extracted. I told him that I had spent hours cleaning the chamber, and there was no way there was carbon in the throat. Long story short.... I was completely wrong, and that is when I invested in the bore scope. If anyone has experienced a change in accuracy after a proper carbon cleaning, it can often times be recovered with a slightly higher powder charge, and or, a longer bullet seating depth. Hope this makes since. Tony. [/QUOTE]
