Yes I found the same thing, the only thing I didn't like was its dirty as fuck. Had alot of trouble with carbon rings in the throat. I started using CLR to get rid of most of it and then finishing with isso bore cleaner and it cleans it up
I noticed more carbon on vase mouths but haven't looked with a bore scope or anything but I clean every 200 is on all precision rifles so
You got to borescope. After a 1 day match the carbon ring was all the way around the throat and if I fired 50 more rounds, the ring would be big enough to contact the bullet, stripping copper off of it if I chambered a round and then extracted. The powder is dirty, the dirtiest powder I have ever used. But it also gives great results with single digit ES SD numbers on 20 shot continuous strings. Now that I know of the problem I take steps to keep it from going to far
I have thought about getting one many times but I thought I'd probably just cause myself trouble for no real reason. I'm sort of 2nd guessing that now though. I sure don't want a carbon ring getting built up
Teslong is the brand I got. It cost me 50 bucks off ebay and hooks up to my phone, you just gotta download the app. It does everything I need it to and it goes with me in my repair kit to matchs. I highly recommend it. If you got the money for a Hawkeye borescope then get that but I'd rather use that money to shoot. Now that I have the scope I check before and after I clean everytime and it truly does help you understand what's going on in your barrel vs guessing by looking at the patch
