I may have put some life back into this barrel.  From my previous posts months ago and issues with accuracy I discovered this barrel was loaded with copper after I swapped it out with a DD CHF/CL barrel.  I did two treatments with Shooter's Choice copper remover per the directions and it came out better than expected.  

Just for giggles I scrubbed the hell out of it with a brass and plastic brush and it literally made no change before the copper remover.

Once I used the copper remover it was very fast.  Scrubbed with solution, let set, rinsed with brake clean, and re-checked, duplicated and final clean and rinse.

Before:  




After(Disregard my kids Phone.  He loves to do what dad's doing)

Shooter's Choice bore cleaner and copper remover are my go-to products for cleaning the bore.  While stinky, they work great.

Might be a candidate for FinalFinish bullets.

Button rifled barrels usually have very smooth finishes. It's an economy barrel, for sure.
