Load Development Help - Rifle Went Out of Tune

[6MMsteve]

Any recommendations on a good model? Seems like they have a few.

I just purchased the one with flexable shaft on ebay for 51.00 shipped. it has a tidy case, but I keep mine out of the case and laid on a bench with the scope and plug in a boot cover, the basic one will do, or the one with the screen will work great also, there are plenty of reviews on here about it, it's a great tool to have, not only for barrels, you can use it for many things

I found this very helpful when developing a new load.

Got the teslong. Here is a video of my barrel. I'm no expect, but it doesn't look terrible?? I think I can see the carbon ring at the lands which some of you spoke of. A few stripes of copper. White spots as well - what in the world are they?? Looks like I need to oil my chamber. What is a good way to go about this?

Thanks!

It looks like there are some pits that may have caused by moisture and rust,but they seem to fill in with copper as it's shot.I have a 25-06 barrel that's way worse than yours,but it still shoots great.I think moisture can get into the carbon fouling in the barrel and cause those little rust pits.Anything I have that's not stainless gets a lightly oiled patch through the bore at the end of a shooting session.Also,I've had a couple scopes go bad on me and cause something similar to happen.No real bad change in group size,just a noticeable one.
