What is your cleaning regimen? Could be a carbon or copper issue.

Given the horrific amount of recoil generated by the .17 Hornet, perhaps it's possible that you may have broken your scope
A more likely scenario is that you need to deep clean your bore. Seems to me that carbon fouling in those little buggers plays H-E double hockey sticks with accuracy sometimes, and depending on what powder you're burning, that can vary a lot. Have you tried automotive fuel injector cleaner for carbon removal? I got into using Motorvac MP3 a while ago, and it works well. Also tried the Lucas brand, which has a higher viscosity (thicker), and also SeaFoam engine cleaner (only used that once so far, but it seems to work OK). One other thing that works great is Quicksilver outboard engine carb cleaner, which comes in a spray can. My .17AH gets carbon fouled fairly quickly, but gets very little, if any, copper fouling in the process, so usually a good soaking with one of the above products and a nylon brush does the trick in short order and doesn't take a whole lot of effort. |

Interesting tip on the Seafoam, dungheap. Thanks for sharing. Might be worth a try on stubborn carbon. Use it in my vehicles, just didn't think to try it on barrels.

Off topic, but just heard about Sea Foam for cleaning fuel injectors. What is your take on this product (and for cleaning carbon rings in barrels)?

I too am interested in dungheaps experience using in barrels. I can tell you from an automotive standpoint I sold thousands of cans to customers over the years while I was in that line of work. Product has been around for a long time, and I try to run at least 2-3 bottles in fuel between oil changes. Many people will run a bottle per tankful. While certainly not as concentrated or powerful as other systems (check a product called "cleen" by Standard Motor Products) or the Wynn's or equivalent dedicated flushing systems, and there are a bunch of them, I and many others feel it is a great "routine maintenance" product. Can be added to oil as well, or using an "s-tool", used as more of a flush like ones mentioned above. (Be prepared for a lot of smoke out the exhaust using this method until product is burned away). Offered in spray cans too.

Seafoam
Prior to monkeying around with Seafoam for removing carbon from barrels, I mostly used it in small engines and my motorcycle for keeping the carbs clean, and it works well for that -- well worth the couple of bucks they get per can. The barrel cleaning thing is a bonus, unless someone comes on here and says that it will eat the rifling out of a barrel, or something like that.
