I am winged due to shoulder surgery. Hence poor typing.
I was testing pc bullets in 2 guns before surgery, both have bad fouling the entire length of bore. no leading problems with lead bullets before
details...hf red, 400 degrees for 20 minutes, verified by digital temp gun. bullets are beautiful and smash test is good.
guns..1911 10mm 5", lyman 401043, pb, sized .401, 5.5gr bullseye
marlim 44 mag microgroove, rcbs 44-240 sil, pb, both unsized and sized .430. 21gr 2400 and 23.5 gr 4227.
both barrels have fouling the full length of barrel. tried hopppes 9 BR, kleenbore, and iosso bore paste. trir
ed bronze brushes. nothing toucj
hed the fouling, i assume it is the hf red.
i do not have a sonic cleaner. i may try plugging bores and soaking when i get this arm to usable condition.
i know i need to try smokes. i will. this fouling is so bad it may be a while.
thanks in advance, dan
