The marks/streaks start just forward of the chamber and go maybe 12” +/-, is this lead build up, this area of my barrels does have some pitting.

In a semi related nature , I’ve made a point of getting something around all my buck/slug/ball loads in the 8 and 10 gauges to try and cut down on lead smudges . And I use several things . Masking tape for the punkin balls , mylar for buckshot and the slugs .
