My barrel today

I shot the Walker today, 75± balls (bag and a half, I didn't count them), and the forcing cone is a little gunky, but just the throat. Fired mostly 45 grains Pyrodex with cornmeal filler, topped with 50/50 beeswax/olive oil lube.

Here's a shot from the breech end. Only cornmeal in there.

You can see that it's pretty clean in this shot from the muzzle end.

But it looks like that after only one cylinder too.

The cylinder is still ready for 75 more. The Walker keeps the cylinder face blasted pretty clean.
