STILL keyholing and copper fouling updated
I'm having a problem with my Marlin 336 30-30. It's an early 60's model and is keyholing factory frderal 150's, 170's, and handloads. The crown looks good as far as I can tell. I've been scrubbung the bore for 3-4 days with Butch's bore shine and Hoppes. Wet patch, soak, wet patch again soak, bore brush, another wet brush----for days. My house stinks of this stuff! The patches still come out blue/green so it must be working.
So, this should help my keyholing problem, right?
How long does this take to get clean?
Any better ideas?
