I’ve been shooting my new SML a bit and realized I hadn’t cleaned it yet. Before I did, I figured I’d scope the bore and see just how bad it was. And boy was I ever surprised. Link to the borescope video is below. This is after 59 shots, bore has never been cleaned. Shooting 180hr HAP pistol bullet, 40-cal, load is 50gr IMR 4198.

Thank you for sharing. Slower powder, under pressured loads in my 40s have really caused me fouling problems.

Various VV powders in my 3 40s with 3 different bullet wts (195, 228,275 - 120, 130, 530) and at higher calculated pressures, virtually removed any fouling problems.

Yes. I’m at 71gs but plan to go up some (using DI).
