[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1704205, member: 18849"] Are the scratches on the bullet a result of one time in and out? Or from multiple times. They actually look too close together to be from a 6 land barrel. I've seen marks like this in a new chamber but they will "shoot" out after just a few rounds. The location however is at the rear of the throat and it could very well be a carbon ring. These normally are a hard to clean. Normal cleaning methods might not touch it. A look with a borescope will show it plain as day if that is the problem. The borescope will also pin-point a short throat as was mentioned. I would try a good scrubbing with a nylon brush & CLR if it was a carbon ring. Of coarse I have a bore cam to watch progress. They say CLR won't hurt it and I've used it. It really cuts carbon fast. Imho, Good luck, Randy [/QUOTE]
