These photos are Teslong bore scope pictures of the Microgroove barrel of my Marlin 336C 35 Remington. You would think that would lead up like crazy, but I have fired jacket and cast without any obvious fouling. Of course all of my cast loads have been powder coated. Some were gas check bullets without gas check and those were without accuracy as well!!
The gas checked and powder coated Lee 358-200 bullets sized .3585" with 36.9gr Varget @ 1928fps shot 1.9" group at 100 yds. I am not through developing this load but this is "minute of deer neck" at 100yds already.
QuickLoad predicts an OBT Load of 38.8gr Varget @2043fps. I have loaded some rounds bracketing that load for testing as soon as it stops raining down here. It is predicted to rain every day this week.
Have any of you ever seen a barrel like this? It looks like that from breach to muzzle.
