I'm glad to hear you got it worked out. Nothing worse than a head scratcher that won't go away.

Mickey was one of the most personable gunsmiths that ever lived and that is rare. He was a long time poster on 24hourcampfire and was capable of dispensing knowledge and advice without condescending. Dog lover too. Another good one on 24hour was "Malm". He's also gone. He did some very beautiful work for me......man, I miss that guy. Rojo, glad ya got to the root of the problem!

Riverrat............No problem. Here is what I found after getting my borescope some 16 or so years ago............The copper fouling occurs mainly at the muzzle end! I had always been under the impression that fouling would be more severe near the breech end? But not the case. My theory is that the longer the bullet is traveling and causing friction, the hotter/softer the copper jacket becomes so its logical that more copper is deposited prior to the bullet exiting the barrel. Once I found this out (visually) I knew where to concentrate short stroking the JB patch. It made my cleaning much more efficient. Some of the best money spend on accuracy. If this new Lyman video camera is all it is cracked up to be, it will be a great tool and about 2/3 the cost of a Hawkeye bore scope.

cork stoppers are our friend.
when smooth sizing the bullets should be small enough to push to the shoulder with thumb and index finger, any looser could be too loose, any tighter and it likely will not go down the barrel.
Full Form bullets are a different learning curve, unless one learns to index in the die for two or three passes through the die it can be a difficult endeavor.
