Hoo Boy, I guess that repair will take more than duct tape and Bondo.
Sounds like the crud ring. When cleaning between shots swab the very bottom few inches well and it should eliminate that. Some powder/primer combos will make a more pronounced crud ring, and it will get worse with each shot.One thing I've noticed is that after a couple shots on the range, whether I'm using pyrodex or white hot pellets, the bullet seems to hang up on the approximately last inch before seating. Obviously I seat the bullet with a little extra umph, but is this typical? In fact, I broke the (crappy?) Allen kit rod trying to seat it that last inch. It broke right at the swivel near the handle. I clean with one wet and one dry patch after each shot. I'd already ordered a one piece range rod, and I'm using the rifle's ramrod in the meantime. The rifle was thoroughly cleaned last night, and the bore looked shiny and clean. Is it plastic from the sabot?
That will work! Only issue is that setup is (likely) only good for that one rifle and load. But yes, you won't mess up that way!Don't know if anyone else is doing this but my witness mark is my palm saver. I have a spinjag loading jag on a gi ramrod ordered to length. I drilled the palm saver hole in my short starter to the exact depth that it sits down flush to the end of my barrel when my load is fully seated. I just push till I can't no more and I'm good.
