[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 1079050, member: 6452"] I did not prefoul my bore by firing five shots. I fired a baseline group of five to doublecheck velocity and grouping prior to fire lapping. I then cleaned it straight back to bare metal prior to running the final finish bullets. The instructions by the way state "Excellent results come also with JB Bore Compound or USB Bore Paste, both are highly recommended for use prior to starting the FinalFinish process." Exactly what i did. Everything I have read says that Flitz is even less abrasive than JB. So once again I cLeaned it down to bare metal, not much sense lapping copper fouling rather than barrel steel. I have read repeatedly that the COAL to reach the lands will move anywhere from .030-.100 following the process so I don't think I screwed up at all. I believe even Tubbs states it will move in the .030" range and you wil have to rework your load following it. [/QUOTE]
