Hello all,
I'm having issues with fouling in my 45 acp barrels using hp38, I have a hk usp 45, and a sig sauer 1911. My load is 5.5gr hp38, cci 300 primers, rmr 230gr fmj bullet, new starline brass, coal 1.260, my average fps is 824. I have some sort of fouling in the first 1/3 of the barrel, takes a hell of a scrubbing to get it all out. Sorry I don't have a picture. This is very annoying, is this typical for for this powder? I'm a new reloader but have never had to scrub a barrel this much with factory ammo. Takes hundreds of passes with a bronze brush to remove fouling from the lands of the rifling. Cfe pistol is dirty for me at 6.5 gr using the same specs as my hp38 load, but scrubs out of the barrel much easier. Anyone have this issue? Is this sort of fouling an issue?
