SPS Barrel

Trying to find a load for a SPS in 300WinMag.

These are pics of the barrel after approx. 85 rounds.

I think this is probably a "slow fouler".

Going to try a TMK (these pics were after shooting SSTs).

I had to look pretty hard to find one on a land, but now I don't see it anymore. A guy at the range said he had heard something about the new Rems being exceptional due to a massive re-tooling project. Could be.

I'll keep an eye out. All my hunting rigs are Remington 700's and I haven't seen this problem. The 7mm-08's I got them in 2009 and the 7mm Rem Mag in 2015, maybe its something new?
