Odd Slugging Question

[Xeon64]

I just slugged and old rifle with some soft lead. Right when the slug gets past the crown it is so loose that is pretty much falls into the action. Either the end of the barrel is tighter than the rest or this is normal. Barrel has plenty of rifling left and does not appear to be shot out.

Thanks,

Is there obvious wear from cleaning rod? That would be my only thought is that at the muzzle crown there has been alot of wear that may not be visible but would be noticable by a tight fitting lead slug.

Also, is it clean? Ie is there leading in the rifling in the middle of the bore?

Clean. No leading. The end of the Barrel is just tighter than the rest.

Good things are worth waiting for. There is a wealth of knowledge about firearms out there dieing off. It needs to asked and recorded.

Have you tried looking for advice over on castboolits? I've been a member over there a long time and they have a LOT of historical experience with slugging issues.

So to clarify is this tighter or looser at the muzzle end?
