Has anyone used these? If so how was the results? Was it worth the time and money? Noticeable results, gains in accuracy or velocity?
Thank you Colby
 
Be careful. I had bad results. I really opened the groups on a 7mm I had. The instructions themselves warn that they can cause problems. (They state they have has several reports of it!) They suggest not using the first 2 course coated bullets sets, unless your rifle is experiencing an accuracy issue. If no accuracy issues, just use the last three finer sets.

I would use JB polishing compound. (link below). With it you can use a more moderate regiment to get to the results you want. With the Tubb's bullets, you can ruin a barrel in one afternoon.

Thank you. I will check into that JB polishing compound. I'd hate to do more harm than good.
 
I've used them. I made the mistake of shooting them through my barrel first instead of testing the accuracy of the rifle to see if it was even needed. However, I got a lemon of a rifle for other reasons so it didn't matter. Unless your gun is shooting 1.5" with the best ammo you can get, I wouldn't recommend them.
