[QUOTE="3006savage, post: 222823, member: 12069"] I have used the Tubbs system on a 3006 savage with good results. I only used 1/2 the bullets which is 5 of each polishing grit. I found the barrel got so hot I could only shoot 3 tubbs bullets and had to let the barrel cool down. So I cleaned after the first 3 rounds while the barrel was cooling shot 2 additional rounds and cleaned again. Then I would move to the next polishing compound repeat the process. When I got to the #3 compound I noticed a big reduction in the pressure required to move the jag and cleaning patch down the barrel. I also noticed that 2 tight spots were gone. My groups are tighter from 1 1/2" to 1" and velocity is down 20fps. If the jags friction is any indicator then I think the barrels pressure and friction are greatly reduced. The claims of increased velocity are at rated pressure and full capacity not with the same amount of powder and lower pressure. You will find that a faster burning powder may be the ticket. [/QUOTE]
