Herschel its the loctite anti seizeMysterious for sure. I wander if the barrel manufacturer has encountered this before?

What does the other spot look like now? It for sure looks like a friction weld. From the blackspot to the actual deposit makes me wonder if some metal pieces/shavings/something got in there with your bullet. That seems too tough to just be the aluminum alloy from yer anti-seize.
I think at this point the lewis tool is the way to go . My goal would be nothing left there . I can see no good coming from leaving any little bit of it still there . The barrel can always be polished up so no rough spots anywhere afterwards . This is important for no future issues to reoccur . Once is enough !!! Just saw this today (monday) . My notifications are getting screwy !!!!I am now only working from the breech. Today I took a 250 Barnes MZ (that would just fit down the barrel with a light tap) and I cut a couple grooves in and then knurled it a little. I would tap it down the barrel until it hit the area of the blobs. I would then work it back and forth until it got loose. I then would clean the barrel and repeat. The borescope shows a little of the bump left but I can’t feel it when I clean with a patch. I also pushed a full-sized Bear Creek 245 copper bullet down the bore and I could not feel the bump. I think I will shoot some full sized bullets smokeless knurled (because it is cheaper). Then look at it with the borescope again. If it shoots ok, I think I will live with it. I think I could lap it but I could make it worse.
If anyone has any thoughts, I’m all ears.
That would bug me to no end. A new barrel would be in the future, but that’s just me.
