I burned the paper and collected the ashes and added it to the grease and applied it to some pure soft cast lead bullets..A small amount of  231 or bullseye powder sent the bullets out the barrel like .3CC.  I could point  straight down into a 2 foot pile of house carpet  pull the trigger and watch the bullet bounce up off the carpet about 3".Saved the bullets and after 10 rounds i would check the bore.Took a few rounds to get the restriction out.I cleaned all the lube and compound from the gun after every 6 shots.It did end up shooting better.. but I found that brass cases I got were wildly different thicknesses.. Sold the gun.Just too much work for not enough return in the accuracy department.One cylinder was just less than .0005" different than the others when all was said and done.. that 1 cylinder would make the flier in the group.I have an Arminius 357 mag.. all cylinders are .357" on the money.. No barrel restrictions.. the barrel slugs at .3565"Super accurate. German made. That one spoiled me i suppose.You can take a bore mop and some paper towels around it if you need it larger and apply clear coat polishing compound to it to really put the chrome slick shine on the cylinders.Keep it up magna19 and maybe you will have a really great shooter.</blockquote>
