[QUOTE="Bruce Treloar, post: 2569419, member: 104002"] I wouldn't use a brush or cloth on a jag as this tends to round off the sharp corner of the lands. Would suggest casting a metal lap in a clean barrel free from oil and lapping using great care not to misalign the rod. Use a plain metal rod, not a plastic covered rod that would have grit imbedded and could wear the lead into the chamber. Lapping works well on top of the lands but less on the grooves. [/QUOTE]
