Went out this afternoon to test my first batch of 9mm cast boolits. After some awful leading issues, i gave up. I was cleaning between every 10 shots.
I get home and start a more thorough cleaning and notice there is a spot just ahead of the chamber that the cleaning rod slips through easier. I thought it was odd but kept cleaning.
After looking down the barrel several times i see a slight ring about an inch infront of the chamber. I think the barrel is bulged ever so slightly. I know it wasnt there before. I am so pist i could spit fire.
