Carbon or something else?

[tribb]

Need some help here . I am not familiar with carbon rings at all . This is in my friends rifle I was starting load development for hammer Hunter bullets and found this!!! Picture on the left is a photo of the display on the bore scope as all of the pictures are! Is the white fuzz y stuff reflection or spider webbs? (I don't know how to attach it to my android phone) I tried to show the throat area and what I thought was the carbon ring with copper from the dummy round I made up! Yes it stuck in the barrel and tapped out easily! You can see the rough ring around the dummy bullet in the right picture.I believe the bullet may have pulled out of the case a bit when I ejected the round. The third picture is a close up of ( copper ? ) in the throat. Thanks for all your thoughts,comments and or advice .

You have come a long ways......but if you are serious about it.....you have a long ways to go.....
I wouldn't stop half way.....that dark color is carbon...needs to be broken up...then soaked again to get the carbon suck up the cleaner....then brushed again...and then again......

You dang near have it squeaky clean.

I think the line you're referring to in pic 084 is just the end of where the leade is cut and transitions to the bore, if it is that circumferential line that's right at the start of the lands. It's a bit odd looking compared to others I've seen because it looks like it's an abrupt step instead of a smooth transition.

If it doesn't shoot well after getting it squeaky clean, I'd take a look there and the next couple inches into the bore after shooting just a few rounds on a clean bore to see if it's stripping copper. It could be and that could be very bad for accuracy, but the best way to find out is shoot it and see if it's acceptable.

You think a little more j.b. is in order? I'll be sure and scope it after the first shot and a few more shots after that !8

Everything passed the chamber end looks clean as can be. Looks like there's a bit of carbon at the end of the chamber . Very minor. It may not hurt anything to leave it but might as well learn how to get it out since you're cleaning to metal.

Put an oversized bronze brush on. If the bore is a 30 cal, use a 338 brush, etc. Put it into the chamber until you just start to feel resistance. Put the borescope in through the muzzle and use it to get your brush on the end of the chamber but not in the lands. Mark a reference line or tape your rod so you know how far in to go.

Use some cleaner... Hoppes, JB, whatever on the brush and rotate it in the correct spot. Repeat til clean.

I bought on of those 3 or 4 piece rods, so the last piece is like a foot or foot and a half. I put an oversized nylon brush, wrap it with a patch, put on iosso or similar, and use the drill to rotate. Carbon ring cleaning is a snap now.

That's a good trick I like it!!! Thanks
