I did some side by side testing between my friends PT1911 and my RIA GI, using the last batch of 230gr LRN with 6.4 grains of unique behind it. I noticed that the barrel in the Taurus had little if any fouling and the RIA was smeared up pretty bad. I am wondering if the shallow rifling in the RIA is the culprit in the what variable fouled up my barrel as my bullets are .452 and I did not use the factory crimp die or crimp them heavily.
