[QUOTE="Mysticplayer, post: 79656, member: 8947"] I would not fire lap any barrel simply because you move the throat forward. What leads you to believe you need such a drastic action? You haven't even shot the barrel. Accuracy is determined by the location of that throat and yout bullet. By moving it ahead during fire lapping, you are doing the same thing as lots of firing. Moving the throat defines barrel wear. If a barrel copper fouls and that bugs you, polish the bore, maybe a bit in the throat. Fire lapping usually does nothing to polish the second 2/3's of a barrel. Personally, I go by what the target tells me, not the cleaning patches. I have match barrels that copper foul and production barrels that don't. all shoot very well. Jerry [/QUOTE]
