I have heard that, unless a full accurizing job is done on your bolt action, there is no use (presumably as it pertains to the striving for accuracy) in lapping lugs with no other work. Further, regardless of how much care one puts into making sure that even pressure is applied to the bolt face (usually with a rubber tipped rod down the barrel which is being pushed on gently by an assistant), the lapping should definately be done with barrel removed.
I was hoping to just do an effective and sensible job of increasing contact area, paying atention (with borrowed SAMMI gauges) to headspace, to not exceed maximum allowable, and be on my merry way.
Any input from you gunsmiths on do's and don'ts or general advice would be appreciated.
