My loads use claybuster wads so that could've been a contributor. I'll keep chore boy in mind for next time.

Some butchs and acetone cleaned it out! I was worried I ruined the barrel and had no idea why. Thanks for the suggestions. I've never had hard fouling like this in my shotguns.

That's a good idea. I shot a bit of steel through it shortly after I got it and don't believe I cleaned it after. I shot some of my lyman slugs Saturday too which fit pretty tight in the wad. Those...

I'll mess with cleaning it some more. I just used m pro 7 and clp. I have some butchs bore shine I can try. Maybe some chore boy too.

I've shot a little bit of steel shot. I can try a harder solvent and see if it comes out.

This was after cleaning it.

I don't believe it is. It's vertical scoring and not so much pitting and rust. There is no corrosion on the outside of the barrel.

I bought this barrel new back in 2018. It is a remington barrel. Far from the glory years of remington. After shooting on Saturday I took it apart to clean yesterday and noticed all these vertical...

Those look excellent! Do you find that the bases need a bit of coating?

I figure they'd be easier to stand up when they're not coated yet by just using my hands with a rubber glove on. The smallest bullet I would do is a .38 cal.

I've experimented a bit with shake and bake and now I'm looking into spraying. To me it's a pain grabbing all the coated bullets with tweezers and standing them up after. Sometimes the bullets get...

I've been shooting the lee 358 158 rnfp in my gp100 with 10.5gr of blue dot. I size to .358 and powder coat, no gas check. I'm not much of a shot with handguns but it seems to shoot accurate and I...

The 9gr of w231 worked out well. Right about the power I was looking for. I did have leading all through the barrel with the missouri coated bullets. Might have to go back to casting and powder...

I also have a lot of 700x but I don't know how well a fast powder like that will work in such a large case.

Looking on hodgdons website 9gr of 231 seems like a good load. How's the recoil on these? Is it something you can shoot a fair amount of without discomfort?

Have my first 44 on the way and am looking at putting a good moderate load together. I'm going to use the missouri cast hi tek costed 240gr rnfp. I'm thinking this bullet around 1050 fps shoot make a...

I use 5.0gr of w231 with a 230gr bullet in 45. Nice moderate target load. No cycling issues.

Well I ended up winning a 1984 stainless redhawk 7.5" barrel new in box! After shooting my gp100 and blackhawk last weekend I realized while I like both, I really prefer the double action grips for a...

I'd love to get my hands on a bisley to feel it but I'll probably stock to the plow handle. I also recently saw that ruger now puts the warning on the underside of the barrel on the single action...

Those of you who have bisley frame rugers, how do you like them? I always thought they looked off but it's growing on me and I could see how that might be more comfortable. I need to find one local...

Thats definitely not a bad price but I really like stainless on my Rugers! Especially on the new models. How's quality control on recent ruger single actions?

So from what I take it only the 10.5" barrel models have the full length ejector rod? The ejector rod on the 7.5" guns doesn't fully extract a case?

Will be shooting offhand all the time. Does the 10.5" wear you out? Is it quite a bit more muzzle heavy?

Thanks, that's what I figured. I believe stainless came out in the early 80s? The 10.5" I was looking at went for too much money so the search continues!

I'm leaning towards the 10.5" just to try something a little different. I also have to see whatever I can get a better deal on. I plan on owning a 7.5" redhawk eventually as well so that area will be...
