[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 722389, member: 35183"] What kind of load did you originally shoot in this gun ? 190gr bullets are pretty heavy for a 308 and I am sure they were chosen to provide lots of lapping surface and thats about it. Having said that, beware that it is the throat that is getting most of the "lapping" and when you do shoot some of the lighter stuff it could have a negative impact. Hard to judge the effect at all with the charged bullets since they were never intended for accuracy. What did you try prior to this ? It can be impressive what you can get out a bore using nothing more than copper remover and bore shine (non embedding compound). Lots of sweat equity involved (you need a good quality cleaning rod and guide). Unless you fired corrosive ammo and then didn't clean it, you really should only have surface oxidation. The fire lapping can get way from you pretty quick and then by the sounds of it you may have to go to the factory for a rebarrel since the bolt configuration sounds pretty unique. [/QUOTE]
