That may be the only answer. Graphite is really hard to completely remove. There isn't a solvent that I know of, that you want to be exposed to, that will dissolve it.
This is my 6.5x55. I started it last year, intending to take it pronghorn hunting, but ran into problems, and am just getting it up and running. I got a heavy contour barrel for it, which should help with accuracy, but makes it a little on the heavy side.
The 7x57 is waiting for the stock to get shipped. It's a lightweight, and I think it is going to become my main hunting rifle.
