I forgot to mention that the barrels I do have not been trimmed or chambered…good catch."Lead Laps" are poured in succession, 180g, 240g., 280-320g. After a barrel is chambered, it's a little late to lap. The throat will get longer, and if you are lapping in the 'traditional way', the lap doesn't leave the muzzle end so there's some bore that doesn't get 'smoothed'. The 'fire lapping' method is probably the best way after a barrel is chambered and crowned. But, go ahaead and try it for yourself, you won't be the first!
And, yes, I just realised what I said about adding the compound after the lap is poured, my bad. My Brownell's kit has grit you can add to the lead.
Cheers.
