[QUOTE="DJ Fergus, post: 1845114, member: 93895"] I honestly believe you are correct about the fire cracking being expected as normal wear & tear for that sized cartridge. Many many moons ago I used some flitz on a barrel by reccomendation of several people on one of the first rifle forums online. I gained about an extra 3/4 moa in group size after doing that. I realized years later what I had physically done to that barrel and it wasn't an improvement. I've never used JB bore paste or fire lapping rounds. While I won't argue that some people saw improvements cause I believe they might have, but I am very cautious about those methods. I haven't had to resort to that yet. Probably would be a last resort for me if my accuracy was poor and couldn't be resolved by thoroughly cleaning with non-abrasive methods or load tuning. It would be the last thing I might try if my next step was to rebarrel, there would be nothing to lose at that point. [/QUOTE]
