I don't think shorts would do any damage but I imagine they would leave a crud ring. I plan on cleaning my chamber with a 25 cal bore brush before I shoot any LR's but it may not be necessary.Canuck Bob wrote: Would you guys worry about the short burning the LR chamber over time?

I passed up a nice Marlin 336 from the 60's last week. Just can't buy them all. Lord knows I've tried. I did by the 336 sitting next to it in the rack. It was made in 1976 and appears new. I didn't need it but the good Marlins seem to be drying up fast now for some reason.

You might try to smooth the bore with JB Bore paste. The biggest question though is how does it shoot? If it shoots well, you know the old saying about messing with a good shooting rifle.
