Did you make sure your barrel was clean before your started?
I'm not shooting lead at all just the jacketed hollow points. I'm going to take a copper Chore Boy strand and do some serious work on the barrel and see if I get any lead out.
The only thing I have done to clean the barrel is to run patches through it with Hoppies.

The photo you took of the rifle on the deer skin is absolutely gorgeous. Are you a professional photographer? The lighting, color contrast, and composition are wonderful.

I'm going to try and up Recluse's anti. I have range lead I need to smelt and make into ingots but at this point no place to do it. So, I'll trade you 2 for 1 range lead for ingots. In addition I...
