A couple weeks before MZ season I shot my Savage w/Pacnor 45 and it loaded fine. About two week later when I loaded it a day before season to check I had to hammer down the bullet. There seemed to be a rough spot about 15 inches down. I clean with 50/50 alcohol and #9 between shots. For short term storage (3 days to 2 weeks) after I clean, I use Bore Scrubber to clean and it has a light rust protective in it. Load is 100 gr BH209 Full Size Bear Creek 245. This is an annealed all copper bullet and it shoots and performs great. I switched to HB sabots and 240 fury for the season and it shot great also. In fact I might stick with that load so I don’t have to mess with sizing.
Now after the season I used a Lyman borescope to take a picture of the bad spots. To me it looks like molten metal. Any Idea of what caused it and how I should try to smooth it out?
