In keeping with my personnal motto of, "If it aint broken keep working on it till it is".
I'm thinking of fire lapping my still fairly new 700P. Right now I've completed the normal barrel break in process and am getting around .8" 5 shot groups at 100 yds. I really, really, want to bring the groups down to the .5" range and have already installed an after market Shilen trigger.
The current scope is a 3-9x Leupold that will get switched out to a higher magnification as soon as funds allow.
So what I'm thinking is why not shoot a couple of lead 600 grit lapping compound impregnated bullets down the bore to see what that does.
I would presume that I really don't need to start with the 320 grit lapping compound first as the overall bore condition is pretty good.
How does 600 grit lapping compound compare with JB bore base as far as abrasivenes? Seems like they are about the same.
Any thoughts here?
Thanks,
Rob
