[QUOTE="ltrshooter, post: 492184, member: 31007"] I have used Tubbs fire lapping on two rifles. I do not have a bore scope to test but I think it does polish the barrels. What it also does is erode the throat. I do have gauges to measure that and can confirm it. I would not use those bullets on any rifle shooting well. I would only consider it in the future if I had bullet jump to spare which is not likely in most factory chambers. The problem is how do you lap a barrrel already mounted without eroding the throat or the other end? Lapping is usually done before mounting the barrel and then both ends are cut or chambered so the excess ware from lapping is removed. If you want to try, I have Tubbs bullets to spare. I could mail them to you in one of those pre paid boxes and you can try them out. [/QUOTE]
