After firing approximately hundred plus rounds after a couple days to the range
From 55 bks’s and 55 Vmax
Big game and h380 powders
H380 and 38.6 gra. 3669fps av.
Big game 38.6-3670fps +averagw… chronograph didn’t pick it up yesterday
absolute blue burp of nastiness came out of the end of the barrel ( bore cleaner )
after seeing massive copper fowling especially towards the end of the last 7 inches of bore.
When viewed with a barrel/bore cam
Saw some fire cracking, which is to be seen, but nothing that’s massive, would not think to cause bullet deformation.
I’ll have to measure, but I think it shoots half three-quarter moa.
I’ll try slowing it down and see if that makes a difference it’s a 1/ 12 twist.
The big game powder definitely smashes the primer a little bit, but the Hodgeson h380 seems to be a more comfortable pressure..
I’ll slow them both down no need to run it that fast… 24 inch bull barrel
Bad barrel or running them too fast??
I’m guessing has about 300 rounds maybe 400 tops
Perhaps these are just savage barrels and that’s what they do?
The rifling has got the KILLDOZZER tracks down the entire barrel just like rock Creek barrels … so nothing to worry about there
I didn’t see anything that was glaringly awful about the rifling… I will have to look again after it’s clean
This is not the first time the barrel has done this. I just figured it was due to high round count and not getting the barrel sparkly clean.
and that I was finally using the right bore cleaner.?
But the barrel was sparkly clean prior to these hundred plus rounds.
i’ve never seen this much coppering in any of the barrels I own.
This purchase was quite a few years ago at Cabela’s it was the savage 110 with Accu trigger and the really cheap stock…
The other one came with a 6.5 Creedmoor I shot about 100 through it… stuck a different tube on the action so I don’t remember exactly how it shot. I don’t remember it shooting teeny tiny groups.
However, I never remember seeing any sort of coppering like this
