Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

As mentioned, Frank Green showed some fairly damning images of a barrel that was confirmed to be cleaned with a bronze brush & an abrasive. Admittedly, I think the barrel owner may have used a battery drill in the process & really flogged that barrel nevertheless, the evidence did appear to be convincing &, with this info coming from such a reputable source, I think it fair to say that you should proceed with some caution.
Abrasive compounds, stiff bore brush, and a drill were used to fuck up that barrel. Bronze brushes will not hurt a bore. Used correct size brushes for bore size, no abrasive cleaners, hand run cleaning rods and don't change directions of brush inside bore. Following these simple rules, there is almost no way that a softer material brush can hurt a harder material barrel. Start throwing lapping compound or drill powered brushing in and all bets off. In that thread, it clearly showed where that guy sat the brush&abrasive at and washed the rifling out with a drill. Reading some of the "how to get carbon ring out" threads make me cringe. If a drill is part of your cleaning regiment.....you're tarded.

Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

Yeah right.
Definitely a head scratcher although, I would definitely speak with some guys who use CW barrels on regular basis to see if there might be something there.
My experience is with 1 carbon barrel, a proof 6creed. I bought it used(100rds) and worked up a load with 107smk@2990fps(22"). It has stayed extremely consistent with as much as 100rds on dirty barrel. But this is just 1 example.

Match grade barrel fouling after 40rds?

The only other powder i have tried so far is H4831sc, but I was getting pressure at a much lower velocity so i switched to H1000. Im loading to 58.3gr, book max is 59.0gr.

Maybe I could try loading the H1000 with a magnum primer and see if results change
About the only thing you'll see with mag primers is worse sd/especially, in 6 5prc. I've used cci br2 and 200 in 4 different 6.5prc barrels and 1 7prc. I've never had althea problems you are having. How long has the ammo been loaded? I've saw bullet weld to brass that caused all kinds of issues, not all did it and they had been loaded for several months. They would actually pop when you ran them through a bullet seater to seat bullets .002 deeper. I think your barrel is the culprit, I just don't know the mechanics of the problem, besides fouling. I assume this is more hunting rifle than dedicated steel banging rifle? If so, while temperamental, it is still predictable and I assume you would start hunting with a clean barrel, not need many shots to secure zero and game, and then clean afterwards. If it is a hunting rifle, and it does shoot accurately for you....I'd just clean before you get to speed up and not worry about it.

everything government creates it destroys
A vast majority of the time there's a motive behind what they are doing. What they sell it as ain't what they are going to do with it. Case in point: The Patriot Act. If they are selling it as safety and security you can bet your ass that in the long run they are planning on fucking the taxpayers.
In this case I would venture to say that there was an NGO that got paid for the development of the homeless camps. 10% or less of the funds went into it and the rest were administrative costs. There wasn't any more funding available so they shut them down. Now that there's a court order it's going to be on the taxpayers to foot the expenses. They don't even have to sell it to the taxpayers. It's mandatory by court order.

…render the proper disciplinary action. Perhaps a lengthy confinement in a dubba wide and some hard labor?
Unfortunately the Marine Mammal Protection Act protects manatees from that kind of discipline but it doesn’t say anything about cumming on their backs.

Wilson Combat barrels

No complaints with WC here. Top one is a 24" barrel 6.5CM build I did a few years ago during COVID. Middle one is a factory 308 build on an 18" barrel. Bottom one is a 16" 5.56 build. All of them shoot lights-out. The only thing I had to do was - ironically - send the 308 back to WC to have them enlarge the gas port a bit so that I could on occasion, reliably shoot mil-surp 7.62 NATO w/o issues. They did that for free (and covered shipping). All of them shoot better than I am capable of.
