[QUOTE="BountyHunter, post: 88092, member: 12"] Not no, but heck no. That is basically lapping the barrel and it will cause a belling at the muzzle. The master lappers at barrel makers cannot do that without causing that belling. That is why you always cut off 3/4-1" off the muzzle of a blank. If you have a rough bore, then order David Tubbs fire lapping kit ($25) and proceed slowly. It has already lubed bullets with different grade grits. I would use only half (5)of the largest grit at first and then proceed to the smaller grits. Even then, that will erode the throat a little but smooth out the bore. BH [/QUOTE]
