The reloads were 200 gr bullets. Not sure if CoreLokt. Bore looks great, but might give it a good scrubbing with copper solvent and try factory loads.
Factory Remington CoreLokt rounds work best for me. They feed perfectly and have good accuracy. I've tried Federals Power Shock brand, but they seem to be seated a little deeper in the case and would misfeed regularly.
I look at it this way, the .35 Remington cartridge was created for the Model 8. My grandpa fed it CoreLokts, that's what I'm going to feed it.
My only complaint it that only one store here sells the .35 Rem CoreLokts, so getting them is hit and miss.
I always cleaned it with Hoppes after every range session. I even tried some foaming bore cleaner and left it in over night. Even that didn't get the copper out. Pick up some Sweets 7.62 solvent and I guarantee you'll get copper out of it.
Tbury - I never tried the JB paste but I've heard good things about it. Would it be alright for these old barrels? Does it clean up easily?
I shoot single shot BPCR woth vernier tang sights and hooded globe front sights with vey good effect. I am wondering if a Beech combination front sight would work well on this rifle and help me maintain a better sight picture. If the rifle had its barrel sights I know I could have done better, but I like the way the peep acquires the target quickly for me. Oh yeah, pics of rifle below!
