[QUOTE="BABore, post: 61290, member: 3358"] Tried the Tubbs package on a problematic 300 Win Mag. Nothing could make this barrel shoot. The bore and throat appeared rough. As a last resort I lapped it. It did make the barrel shoot better, but not up to my standards. Time for a new barrel. I do believe the lapping helped though. It did foul less and definetly smoothed things up. The throat was moved out by 0.053" with the full process. If your gun shoots good, but is a little rough and fouls, I would only use the fine grit bullets. Tubb's instructions are good and do address only partial lapping of quality barrels. [/QUOTE]
