how do you accurately decide if the forcing cone is at fault for serious lead buildup when shooting cast in your revolver? as in 2 cylinder fulls of cheap federal 38 special 158 LRN leave the forcing cone and start of the rifling inside the barrel/frame junction plated in about a Kleenex thickness of lead?
using the old standard of worn out brass brush wrapped with a 2' long strand of wire from a chore boy has done very little in removing it. though I have seen on here the "new" practice is to cut a section of chore boy like its a piece of window screen and then put on the bore brush..
Is a "plunk test" with a factory swaged 158 grain speer swc useful?
