I have a Star modelo super I have shot exactly 25 rds for milsurp 9 largo through before I started to load for it. The barrel looked rough when I got it so I didn't think much of it to start with (being a 50+ year old milsurp). Well I went and cleaned to get ALL of the fouling out after I shot 50rds of cast through it today. Wasnt leaded to bad but had what looked like lots of jacket fouling in the bore. After scrubbing + moore scrubing with every thing I had, it still wasent as clean as I wanted. So a couple of hours in some Evapo rust it went. Well guess what its clean now, but pitted in all the grooves bad. Really the worst pitting I have ever seen. The rifling looks good, sharp lands but pitted grooves. Is there any hope for cast in this pistol, or am I going to have to buy (gasp.......) jacketed bullets? If I have to feed it machine built bullets then I may as well sell it, because that would cut into the shooting budget badly. Thank you, Josh
