Recently got a rifle with a slightly rough bore, I have shot worse with good results, but this one seems to fould badly fast after just a few jacketed rounds through it. I thought I'd try this, having never done it before. Made some patches I carefully measured with ordinary typing paper, dampened them, wrapped twice, twisted the tails and cut them off. When they dried, I ran them through a .327 sizer (it's an old 8mm) and loaded them with ten grains of 700X and shot them. I've done a little light cleaning of the bore, can't tell from looking if it changed anything, bit it didn't really look that bad before.
I've read where paper patched bullets will polish up a rough bore, I'm just wondering how many should it take to do it? Is that load too hot or too light for doing this?
