Re: Very bad barrel fouling.

I've finally got my new .410 back at the weekend, I put 50 through it

plastic cartrdges.

Time to clean it when I got home - I have been at it for 45 minutes now,
and still havent got all the crap stuck in the barrels.It seems mostly
to be lead stuck to the barrel walls.

I've never seen a barrel so stuck up with this mess - the bronze brush
came out nearly solid with all the gunk it had removed.
So, what has caused this build-up of lead/dust/plastic?
I've been using 2.5" catridges, when it is chambered for 3" - should I
use 3" all the time, and would this make a difference?
Any other clues?
Thanks

Hi Alan,

when you say got it back, do you mean from some repairing ? If so,
possible it was greased up. Perhaps a clean before shooting would have
avoided this.

Having said that though, my son has a beretta 687 EELL and the barrels
internally (even though they are supposed to be chromium line or what
ever) have got streaks that we cannot remove. The bronze bush make no
difference.

Sorry can't be of anymore help
