I have a frankford vibratory tumbler, I throw it on at night and let it go til morning. It's got a mix of two types of Lyman crushed walnut, they come out bright as can be, no extra added stuff.
So I did the bronze brush with some solvent with a drill and it came out sparkling. I definitely noticed the bronze brush taking away the carbon with the bore scope, should have taken photos.
I don't know how you would sharpen it without changing dimensions. Is there a way for a smith to measure the dimensions of the throat to see if it is in fact undersized?
Well I'm glad to hear that. It sure hold onto that bullet when it's chambered. Would sharpening the reamer have caused a slightly smaller throat? When I first started loading for this rifle I thought I was in the lands but I'm wondering if it was just the throat now?
It was shooting well, half moa allllllll dayyyy haha, biggest three shot group it ever shot during load dev was just over an inch. Just reallllyyyy tough to eject a loaded round.
I will definitely try some of that stuff mentioned above. Wipeout/patch out says it takes out carbon but who knows...
I use patch out, put a couple soaked pads down the barrel, sit over night and then dry patches. Couple more wet ones go through, sits for an hour amd they come out clean.
I'm also not convinced it's carbon by the way it looks. Almost looks like rifling that wasn't cut down all the way in the...
I watched a guy burn 3 boxes through a 270 one time. He got to within 10 feet of a 2x3ft target before hitting it. I thought he was just trash haha but his rings were mounted backwards on a x bolt.

My buddy and I put a plug in a tire on his f350 three years ago. It's still in there haha, its in the middle-ish of the tread nowhere near a side wall.
I'd run it til its time for new tires
