A friend tried to develop subsonic loads in his .303Brit using a small load of pistol powder and a .32 auto bullet. It seems he used not enough powder and the bullet stopped 6 inches from the muzzle. He then took a second shot and the bullet stopped behind the first....
Now the rifle comes to me to remove the stoppage. I made a special drill bit protruding through brass bushes to drill through the bullets and removed the lead successfully without damaging the rifling. But now the copper is still left in the barrel....
Only thing I can think of is using a plug and filling the barrel with some M98 copper solvent to dissolve the copper. Or try to collapse the copper and then try to remove it but with no damage to the rifling will be almost impossible. The two pieces of copper is about 1/2" from each other and around 6" from the crown.
Any advice will be appreciated
