Clean barrel good, then clean again. bore snakes seem to help for some people. Lead slug or buckshot pushed down barrel will give a measurable rifling impression and tell if bore is worn beyond specs. If crown is worn and don't want to rebarrel- see if gunsmith can do a recessed recrown job. This means you end up with 1/2 inch to inch or so of smoothbore at end of barrel and crown recessed. Crown rubs known to happen when cleaning rod is used from muzzle end without bore sleeve/cleaning cap- unfortunately the lever actions are the main ones to get this type of cleaning and have the egg shaped, nicked crowns. Reccessed crown sometimes on target rifles or black powder rifles, cleaning rods have a plastic sleeve that fits in smoothbore end and acts as cleaning cap instead of using a false muzzle like the old Pope target rifles.
