It is my opinion that copper is the first thing that gets on the lands near the throat then towards the muzzle, carbon builds on top of that. Bore tech eliminator, Montana Extreme or Barnes will get that out

Great job!! One way to get the ring out, use a favorite paste like jb or Iosso etc on a bore mope and apply short strokes right at the throat area without a bore guide. Place a piece of blue tape over the trigger area to prevent debris and contamination. Again stain is ok build up needs to go

After three pages, I would suggest a reloader should purchase a Full length sizing die ,whether standard or bushing type and learn how to use it. I have both and both do the job. Simple solution to a non problem.

50 passes with a bronze brush and a touch of oil will help remove carbon and not hurt the barrel.

A safety matter I suppose.. 30 seconds on a belt sander gives me a -.005 shell holder.

I wasn’t speaking of die length rather radial sizing. Length can vary quite a bit. Ideally .125 Less then sammi chamber but Redding type S (speedy) we’re at one time .015 short of that. Maybe that’s where the comp shell holders started ?

Just to add to the misinformation and confusion, and which ever style die a reloader chooses, the standard ( non custom ) dies are either bored or reamed at .002 -.004 under sammi specs but rarely have I seen under the latter. The chamber may vary even more depending on chamber reamers being...

This is a clean barrel.

This is copper build up and mass pitting. Yours isn’t this bad.

That is thick with carbon, scrub with Iosso paste treatment. Carbon stains are ok build up is not ok.

A caliber change certainly would, REM 700 are good actions. 6 br will shoot incredibly small.

Do forget old. But who’s counting.:thumbdown:

Yes, 6 BRA the current reamer I’m using continues the .268 chamber neck, I turn the brass to 0.01085 ( slightly under .011 thou ) giving me a .265 loaded round OD. The freebore is only 0.94 but it really likes the 103 grain VLD vapor Trail bullets jammed about .008

Pretty darn good in my view. I’m happy to not come in last ..

Barrels pretty rough.

This the only stamp on this barrel.

So.. is the OP just giving up, tossing in the towel ?

Good read, thank you for posting that.

I like that new stock ‘ look g forward to the next report .

Well thanks fellas you’ve given me a bit to go on and yes $400-500 might end up being the asking price and see what the offers are. I think she did some trading for it. Probably not in it very much.
