Oops, got stuck on the yellow part
Try some Chore Boy copper scrubbing pad. Wrap some (doesn't take much) around your selected bore brush so that you struggle a little to get it to go in the end of barrel. O
nce it's in, give it about 100 strokes and if it is leaded, it will get it out. It has worked for me for years.
Ran Chore Boy and some jacketed 230gr through it and hey, I can really see the rifling now!
Got in some Missouri cast 250s and will try them tomorrow and see what happens.
Kind of an off question, but in addition to the regular wax lube they come with I'm coating them with Lee Alox. Any insight on that?
Ok, it aint the gun. Deep clean and it's now shooting 1in with jacket xtp on 8gr Unique. Doesn't like the missouri cast @ 12 brinell. Bit better with the srs 16 brinell.
Nice! Well done!

It was the gun...to correct myself. It was leaded up bad. I've never had a gun that had that bad an issue.
Running jacketed and chore boy through it solved this problem. Now it's dialed in pretty decent.
Long, lovely day at the range with the hand press and the Marty Robinson play list.
Now to doll it up with tack work.
Oh, another "Discovery" if you will....Triple 7 was outperforming the Pyrodex and 8gr Unique on the XTPs was phenomenal.
Another thing I've done is wipe the bore with Johnson Paste Wax after every session. Seems to help slick up the bore for lead boolits.

I am glad I came across this thread. Have the same rifle with the same accuracy issue.
