were the cleaning bullets cast lead alloy ? or mj .   

and by any chance did your groups get better as the lead was removed ?

*************

i doubt that baby powder would hurt your barrel ... i once fired several thousand 22lr with jb rolled into them thru a match barrel with no bad things happening .  i think .

i am thinking i need to load some really hot loads to see if i can make a barrel lead.... then try your method.  i still have a bucket of H4831 from 1958 that otta do it.  ok, deer rifles ... i need one volunteer to step forward.
