Carbon buildup during a match....

[piie]

Get a boresnake and then go test at the range (simulate match and rack time) if it helps to pull the snake through a couple of times during that 20minute break- if it helps, you might try it during shorter breaks too - doesnt take long… ive been doing this with my rifles - pull the snake with brush area soaked in some ballistol through twice while barrel is still warm before packing up for home.

LOL, I just realized its probably not going to be that easy with a lever action…

Actually that was my next step but thought I'd ask here first. There is a body of knowledge and I am sure I am not the first to experience it. I don't see other people at matches, even nationals cleaning between relays so either it's particular to this gun/set up or they just credit their errant shots to themselves and not the equipment. I'm not above being the odd duck though.
