[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 351355, member: 1521"] Mark, I'm referring to your difficulty in getting a bore back to baseline(clean to the metal, and lapping crosshatch). It should take no more than an hour's work with relatively mild agents to get it done. But as you're seeing, once a bore get's out of hand, it can be nearly impossible to restore. Some bores get to a point that restoration changes baseline. The KG implies polishing and I would be nervous about that. The very last thing anyone should do is polish a bore, as this INCREASES copper fouling, and then it must be re-lapped as an aftermarket barrelmaker does, to get back to baseline. KG might be okay, be I use Tubb's FF as I know it's safe. The GJ sounds to me like suspended HBN. If it is then HBN coating of bullets might better maintain the gains of GJ. IMO You should never have to shoot a gun before USING it. And I would certainly never store a gun with a dirty bore for any extended length of time. But that's just me.. I think all this group shooting obsession has people content with sighters, and first shot misses.. When I pull a gun out, it is better than new(cuz I always leave it that way), and I know exactly what it will do -first shot. Don't matter if it's a week, or three years down the road. It is very satisfying (to this hunter) to smack that mark with the -first -cold -clean barrel shot. [/QUOTE]
