[QUOTE="Coyboy, post: 506469, member: 3733"] I would avoid abrasive paste, or use very sparingly. You can over do it and ruin a barrel with excessive use. A custom barrel is hand lapped with 120-150 abrasive on a lead lap, so that it works evenly along the entire bore. Creating a dimensionally uniform bore. Pushing patches with 800-1000 grit is not going to dimensionally uniform anything. It will create a highly polished surface that will gall more copper off the bullets. [/QUOTE]
