Thread: Lapping barrels

I did try some 162 loads that worked well in my last 3 remingtons of the same cal but no it didnt like them or my 120 load which again worked well in the others the only difference is the barrel contor the other 3 where all BDL'S and had a thicker barrel . Ill sort it but was just wondering as it seems to be a thing that people suggest to sort remingtons out .

A couple of spots an inch inside from where the bullets let go of the barrel. As already said, leave them if the rifle shoots good. Lead lapping is for shot-out pitted milsurps ... in a desperate attempt to get them back to shooting within 4-5MOA -- assuming they ever did.
