Hi All, first post here. Just a little background on myself first. I started loading and casting in the late eighties. I was on a shoestring budget, but had a good mentor. I had a handful of Lee molds and cast wad cutters and Semi wadcutters for .38 and .32, tumble lubed, never sized and had excellent success. I was away from shooting sports for a number of years and got interested again in recent years. I bought a new Ruger GP100, blued 4" barrel. I have had severe fouling problems from the git go. It even fouled on copper jacketed bullets! I put the gun away and didn't shoot it for a while. I recently shot a few rounds through it and it was wildly inaccurate. I looked in the muzzle and it was clearly fouled so I put it back in my range bag and just shot my .22 for the rest of the session. I have tried a Lewis Lead remover, and every kind of solvent that I can find and have spent a lot of time trying to clean this thing and have succeeded in getting some shiny glitter out on my patches, but the bore is still fouled. I wonder if I have ever actually gotten it clean after the first time I fired it. I would like to fire lap this gun, but I'm afraid to until I am confident that it is actually clean. This is what it looks like now.Thanx for any insights.
