I received some 45 Colt bullets from my Dad's estate that indicated they were 250 FPRN over 8.5 grains of Unique. They were coated (no lube) with some kind of black moly/powder coating and after shooting 20-30 rounds I noticed my groups became patterns. They surely leaded my barrel. 24 inch octagon Rossi 92.
I have been running a bore brush down it after letting it sit after having ran a soaking wet patch down the barrel using alternately both Hoppes #9 as well as Kroil. Each time after running the brush I always end up with black on my first patch. I have upped the ante to running the bore brush with the 100% copper Chore boy and still get quite a bit of black on the first patch ran through with the jag.
I am beginning to wonder if the black is just a product of the solvent and copper as I have spent some hours cleaning this barrel and would have thought it clean by now.
When do I know I am done? Not sure if it is still fouled or if I am just chasing my tail.
