[QUOTE="westcliffe01, post: 818487, member: 35183"] If you watch any of the bore lapping videos, you will see that it is not at all unusual to deform a barrel when press fitting sights or by drilling with a blunt drill prior to tapping. If the lap is cast in the barrel it is an accurate fit and sensitivity to detecting imperfections is much higher than with a patch with JB paste on it. I noticed the tight spots when trying to load Hornady FPB bullets which have a thin copper skirt and no sabot. These bullets are a tight fit in the bore and quite unforgiving of any tight spots. I can load powerbelt bullets with no problem, but they do not fit nearly as tight in the bore as the FPB's. I never got the FPB's to shoot either... [/QUOTE]
