Need some help with some marks in the rifling at the muzzle of my new shillen barrel. It is a 6.5 mm blank that i had chambered locally to 6.5-06 it is shooting pretty flaky and it is like a copper mine in it after only a few shots. at the muzzle it looks like chatter marks or it has the look of a file.
I broke the barrel in with 10 shots cleaning after each shot then another 20 rounds cleaning every 2 shots. it was at 1.5-2" groups. then ran some bullets with lapping compound 220,320,600 shot 5 and cleaned on each. it still takes forever to clean, groups have gotten a little better but it takes forever to get the copper out of it.
I think this is my issue what say anyone else? is there a remedy? I don't have a bore scope to see how far back it goes. It is a shillen barrel will they stand behind it?
