If those photos are of a cleaned barrel, I would adjust my cleaning process. I see copper and carbon in the barrel. It is far from clean. I have barrels with a lots more marks and cracks than that that still shoot.just cleaned before the pic. soaked overnight with wipeout, cleaned tht out and then soaked with C4. i use
Have you called Brux? I’m sure they’d help you out.
I'm going to stay away from the brush debate.
Here's my feelings, which align with jackie's: the time and money spent chasing a barrel that isn't working for you can quickly exceed the cost of replacing it. I drive 75 miles out to my shooting spot and back, and I shoot 50 rounds through each rifle while I'm out there. That's about $30 in gas usually and $30 in ammo per gun per trip. If I put in cleaning and target/range supplies, wear and tear on my car, and also consider the ~2-3hrs I spend prepping that ammo, targets, and range gear each week; each trip begins to look like a pretty significant investment. If Brux, for whatever reason, doesn't offer to help you out; I would seriously consider biting the bullet and having a new barrel made.
In the OP right under the pics it states 6BR.I am not seeing the caliber mentioned in the conversation thus far. It may be that your 12 twist barrel is too slow for those heavy bullets. If it is .224, I would not shoot more than a 55 grain bullet through it and expect accuracy. Even then, not all 55 grain bullets will stabilize properly, but that is my rule of thumb. It has to do with the length of the bearing surfaces. If it is 6 mm or something in that neighborhood, others may be able to address the proper twist rate for that bullet. Yes, your barrel is rough. My gosh! You oughta see my current lot of Savages with stock barrels though. My borescope scared me into replacing several until I realized the ones I am throwing away shot extremely well. They just require an inordinate amount of cleaning afterward. Try lighter bullets in your 12 twist and see if you don't throw some tighter groups.
I bet that goes over like a turd in a punchbowl.Run a set of Tubb fire-lapping/throat maintenance bullets over it, then scope it again. Or get someone to diamond-lap it.
