[QUOTE="idaho elk hunter, post: 973803, member: 68226"] I used to do it ALOT.. We had a batch of barrels from a well known manufacture come in and were receiving consumer complaints about some accuracy issues and how hard they were to clean. Most were in the 284 and a few in the 257 calibers. We ordered the"original" bullet that had a huge bearing surface on it. Fire lapped them in house at a very minimum under pressure velocity. 10 course. 20 medium and 35 fine. Anything less than this was not adequate. When we did this there were rumors floating all around that we rebuilt the rifles to benchrest standards. And that they were the most accurate rifles we ever produced from the South Gate location. People were seeking out the specific serial numbers that we lapped to pay premiums for them. Funny thing is we tested only a handful that we did, and out of them about 40 percent shot any better, only 3 did drastically better. [/QUOTE]
