I am looking for other shooter's experience with shooting lead bullets in the MN 91/30 7.62 x 54r.
I recently shot 50 rounds of gas check lead bullets in my MN 91/30. Estimate velocity at 1400 - 1500 fps. It made a mess inside my barrel. This is the most fouled barrel I have ever tried to clean going on three days now.
I first cleaned the lead using Outers Foul Out system which stripped out a lot of lead. The Foul Out now shows the barrel as clean which it is not even close to being. Repeated patches keep coming out black. After soaking overnight I did get the first patch to come out blue indicating copper fouling. After more passes with a bronze brush the patches are black again. I have it soaking again.
All of this leads me to ask if this rifle is compatible with G.S. lead bullets?
