[QUOTE="hemiford, post: 2746912, member: 72104"] IF a barrel made of STEEL has any residual STEEL burrs (a big IF), I fail to see how something made of COPPER is going to machine away those STEEL burrs. Copper could however fill in the valleys between the burrs. If the the STEEL burrs are too large, then return the barrel, or remove the STEEL burrs, in a precise manner, with something harder than STEEL. If the barrel/rifling is not perfectly cylindrical to start with, no amount of break-in with something made of COPPER can possibly remedy that. [/QUOTE]
