[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 974007, member: 54178"] Elk Hunter, Good to know the ratio of coarse, medium and fine rounds. I'll try that. HAND LAPPED barrels are supposed to be what you get from custom barrel makers so I see no reason not to fire lap a barrel. Yeah, I'm sure accuracy can be great from non-lapped barrels but a properly lapped barrel will always get copper fouled less and therefore clean up easier. And there is likely no study to back this up but I think that fire lapping may just slightly radius the land corners which can provide a better gas seal and maybe a bit more velocity. On the other hand fire lapping may begin throat erosion a bit sooner. Hard to say. [/QUOTE]
