I'm shooting 230 gr Meister LRN bullets. I get very little leading in the barrel but I get a lot of lead build up at the top of the chamber, enough that after 200 rounds or so I start to get failure to go into battery problems.
I believe the problem is caused when the bullet is feeding into the chamber it contacts the chamber top and leaves some lead behind.
Has anyone else had this issue and what can be done to eliminate it? Two thoughts I have but haven't tried yet is to shorten cartridge overall length (currently using 1.245") and try different magazines (using Chip McCormick mags for the most part).
Suggestions?
