Test one more thing for me... if you have a 50 cleaning jag... put a lightly lubricated patch on it and push it down the barrel. If it goes to easy pull it back out and double it up. Want to make the fit very snug. When you push the snug patch down do you feel it tighten at the spot the ball is getting stuck? and more importantly is it a smooth ride down????
Try that and let us know...
