[QUOTE="bluedog69, post: 2745592, member: 118823"] So I tried the "push a loaded round in to see if it sticks or falls out" test. Never tried that before. Loaded round definitely stuck. Backed it out about 100 thou before it didn't stick. :eek: So I thought what the!?!?!? So I took a loaded round and colored it and chambered it with the bolt. It went in easy and came out easy, but there was a large scuff all the way around the bullet just in front of the neck about 1/8". There weren't any land marks at all. So I used my new Teslong for the first time. There was a lot of copper and carbon in the lead area. I have seen where some guys use J-B bore paste to clean this area up some. I never have but i may give it a try. One box of factories seems a little harsh to have done this much gunking up. The 110 Vmax does have what seems to be a long straight bearing surface. Makes me wonder if this was a new rifle or if someone had "tried it out" it, ran some ammo through it and then reboxed it. If they did I think they may have missed out on a good one. So far it is sub MOA with zero load development. May have to feed it a lot of ammo and clean it a lot to get it polished up. What's anyone's opinions on trying to lap it all the way through with J-B paste? The guy I watched just took his new custom barrel and did about the first 3" to clean up the reamer marks/lead area. Would it be better to shoot and clean and see how it does? [/QUOTE]
