The Savage Striker in 308 Win has leaded, a tiny bit, when .3095" bullets are used.
Cleaning every relay, every 12-15 shots, seems to make about all my guns shoot better on average; including the Striker.
So, yesterday I cleaned a bit, then ran a tight Lead Away from Kleen Bore lead removing patch through the barrel after each relay. I felt the lead, at the chamber end of the barrel, but there was no lead on the patches. It felt like lead, that gritty feeling that goes away as you work the patch back and forth, no lead to be seen.
I can't see anything in the barrel before cleaning, can't see anything after cleaning with (paper) patches and Marvel Mystery Oil. Wipe the bore dry, push through a tight Lead Away patch, feel the ?lead?, no lead on the patch.
This is all new for me, something is fouling the chamber end of the barrel and I can't see it or get it out with MMO unless I Lead Away or brush the barrel, and I'm reluctant to do a lot of either.
What is it? Does anyone know?
Thanks;
