[QUOTE="Alex Wheeler, post: 1493824, member: 101859"] When you lap a barrel you cast a lead slug of the bore and impregnate it with compound. You lap all of the bore evenly with the idea of a consistent finish and size. A bullet is not a lap. A bullet will have more force on the tops of the lands and center of the grooves and the lead angle. I think if fire lapping is actually being thought of as a fix for something, that barrel is not worth the effort. [/QUOTE]
