[QUOTE="budlight, post: 2660411, member: 2939"] Castrol chrome polish is super fine abrasive. I'm kind of a SS barrel person. I put the chrome polish on a bore snake and run lots of pulls each direction to polish out the barrel. For years I was into home made coating bullets and I had some very short life rifles like a 30-378. I would like to think that polishing the barrel and breaking in the barrel with moly coated bullets actually extended the barrel life a little. It seems to me that I get very little copper out of the barrels after shooting moly dry powder tumbling bullets. Mostly black. moly bullets are so slick that they lose velocity. you have to add a couple of grains of powder to run the same FPS as it's copper counter part [/QUOTE]
