I just completed my first work up in my Winchester 94 in 32 special. Using the RCBS 32-170-FN, sized just over .323”, gator gas check and Ben’s red for lube. I feel like the barrel is telling me something I’m just not sure what. Starting load was 19 grains IMR 3031, finishing at 28 grains. Every ten rounds I cleaned the barrel so I could check for leading. the first few cleanings the patch went through easily as though greased (go figure) and came out very black. Each cleaning after showed less residue and more resistance. Is this just the lube getting expended at higher loads and doing it’s job, leaving less in the barrel? Is it telling me that increasing the load much above this I’ll run into leasing as the lube is used up? I’d like to run another work up after hunting season to see if I can crest 2100 fps, I just ran out of time.
