[QUOTE="nicholasjohn, post: 2243949, member: 109113"] Old Rooster, If it's a barrel that you were going to take off anyway, you have nothing to lose in trying the process. You may salvage one that is still useful. The NECO system is done with your own bullets. It's a sloppy process where you embed the abrasives into bullets you already have, by rolling them back & forth between two flat steel plates with grease smeared on them that has the different grades of abrasive particles in it. It's kind of a pain in the keester. I would just wait until you can get what you need from David Tubb, unless you're just a dyed-in-the-wool do it yourselfer. If I didn't already have the NECO kit, I would buy the bullets with the abrasives already on them and save a lot of fussing & fuming. If you do get the kit and do it yourself, consider using the bullets with the longest bearing surface you can find, so that you can minimize how many shots it will take to get the job done. Since there is also a lot of bore cleaning going on between lapping shots, fewer shots means less of that laborious task. It's not a big thing, but it is something to consider.
