[QUOTE="MagnumManiac, post: 2191058, member: 10755"] I use valve grinding paste. It comes with coarse and fine grit. Start with the coarse grit and finish with the fine grit. I aim for 90% clean up on the non touching lug and full contact on the touching lug. You can go further, but I have never found an increase in accuracy. If the action/barrel is bad from factory, I rip the barrel off and true everything anyway and re-barrel. I only lap the lugs on very accurate rifles from the factory, doing so on a mediocre rifle is pointless IMHO. Cheers. [/QUOTE]
