Anyone experienced this before?

I would use boretech, i think it is a better clean let than anything I have used. Though you can’t use any brass with it. In addition I use some lucas bore solvent as a prep for the boretech.
I used a lucas bore solvent, wet patch one pass. Wet a bronze brush with lucas, 10 passes through the bore. And dry patches until it is dry.
Then I use the boretech, following the directions on the bottle. And I find 1-2 cycles and I am done.

First range session is tomorrow. Hoping it shoots good!

A brand new Bergara B14 HMR 6.5 PRC that took 4 rounds of cleaning to get a patch that was not black. I always clean a barrel before shooting it but this is the dirtiest barrel I’ve ever encountered. It was visibly dirty before I started but I’m shocked at how dirty it was.
-
My b14 SP was like that but probably wasn’t as bad.. after seeing the first patch after boretech soak, I soaked again and used a nylon bore brush which most likely helped to speed up the process.

When I broke in the barrel on my savage 110 it was like that after every cycle. 1 round, wet patch, brush, 2 dry patch, copper solvent patch, scrub, 2 dry patch, lightly oiled patch. After the first patch of solvent every time is was exceedingly dirty. Just running some plinkers with IMR4064. When I began to progress further through the break-in where I’d fire 5 rounds groups instead of singles between cleanings they would be much less dirty. Very strange. Then I took it out the other weekend and put 40 rounds of a ladder test with Varget and IMR4064 (20 of each.) It wasn’t nearly that dirty when I cleaned it that night. I think maybe more rounds clean out some fouling as they go.

I had two Bergaras. Both were pretty fouled from test firing.
It is a pretty solid setup, the barrels are great. Clean it. Let the solvent soak and do it’s work.
I love butches bore shine for deep cleaning.
For non deep cleaning. Lucas extreme gun solvent is my go to, or Pro Shot bore solvent.

Its a new barrel its gonna need cleaning. As well as a proper breaking in. Shoot 1 round and clean for 20 shots, shoot 3 rounds and clean 60. You will notice how much smoother the bore gets.

Use clr next time, soak a patch, pass it though, let it sit for like 10 mins and clean as normal

They test fire them at the factory
-
Pretty much always. Cleaning up after the factory takes the longest in my opinion. Their machining oil always seems pretty thick
-
Both my Bergara were like this.
-
Where you shooting bp?
-
Was it just lapping compound that someone missed cleaning at the factory?
