[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2913072, member: 5412"] There are bullets/ammo out there that are lead with a very thin copper coating flashed on them. They aren't jacketed but look like they are. Berry's bullets are one. I suspect you might have got some of that. If the load is too hot, the lead can and will melt on ignition and coat your barrel. Since the tip of your barrel is cooler than the chamber end, the molten lead will be deposited there. You would have to have a chrony to make sure, but Berry's does not recommend loading over 1000 fps. You have classic leading of your barrel. [/QUOTE]
