[ATTACH=full]330326[/ATTACH]Worked with [USER=960]@Grenadier1758[/USER] today at the range and came to the conclusion that the patches where being damaged by the rifling past the crown. The good news is my Bubba coning appears to have done no real damage to the rifle and I’m no longer getting cut patches from starting the ball.Above is a pulled dry ball. After this I ran 100 passes with steel wool and the cutting was improved but not solved, tested 5 rounds and found patches still experiencing failure to various degrees.Went home and ran 100 passes with red scotch brite, 100 with steel wool and JB bore polish.I’m shocked by how sharp this Douglas barrel is after the shooting I’ve done with it and previous passes with scotchbrite and steel wool prior to this outing.
