leading at the end of the barrel

powder coat?, that seems like a bit too much work for me, not that I don't admire them, especially being able to choose any color you want

so I was reading a thread about moly lube, and it mentions that it leaves a grey residue in the barrel.... that got me thinking, I hadn't cleaned my gun yet, and since I had no patches left, I ended up using tight wads of paper towel with hopes no.9, in about 5 passes, just in, not in and out, wasn't using a jag, just the tip of the rod, 90-95% of the "leading" or "residue" was gone... so, would you expect leading to clean up that easily, or do you guys think it is more likely that I was seeing this grey wash from the moly in my lube?

Look at your patch, silver looking sparkles are a dead give away if it was lead?

not that I saw, just looked black... so is this residue a problem? or just something I need to clean when it gets built up, if it does build up, if it IS lube,it may smear like what I saw, but not build up more because succeeding shots would keep it down. still need to find out if lee's alox will help with this, by that I mean applying it on top of the regular lube

It's a problem if it becomes a problem... light fouling can become heavy fouling if long strings are fired without cleaning, especially adding a very hot barrel into the equation. For that, you'll have to try it and see (or just avoid the problem).
