Has anyone here used this stuff? I was thinking about doing this to my Remington 700, and was wondering if any of you have used this before and what your results were.
Alright that sounds good, thanks.Used the NECO version and it works for making the barrel easier to clean. I have not gotten any accuracy improvement.
With the introduction of Wipe-Out and other foaming bore cleaners, I don't see the need anymore. For new rough factory barrels, I tend to use Flitz or Iosso for the first few cleanings.
I get what your saying, and I do realize that my rifle is not and was never intended to be a tack driver at 600. I really like this rifle, it is probably the gun I like most and I just thought that maybe this would be an easy way to get a decently (for a huntin' gun ) polished barrel. I am also pretty aware that it likely not do much in the way of accuracy, but it's cheap enough and it will make me feel better.How many rounds have already gone down the barrel? After the first 100, the jobs likely done - most abrasive ammo won't get more. You net very little FPS or accuracy, it's a high precision, high dollar target barrel technique for something doing less than 1/2MOA. The typical 1 1/2MOA barrels on hunting guns won't see much effective improvement. Handloading cartridges, getting the bullet, loaded length, and powder consistent will deliver more. It's just a lot more work.
Lots of race gun marketing going on out there, noone guarantees money back you will get a permanent improvement you can see with the naked eye. It's a really based on a bunch of other stuff being done first, and it has to be prioritized.
Start with a $450 Kreiger match barrel, I speculate the break in instructions will be specific. Remington, not so much. Nothing in my owner's manual even mentioned it.
Krieger states quite specifically NOT to use any abrasives in their barrels. There is no need, as the bbls come already lapped smoother than smooth. And they do come with specific break-in instructions. I expect the same is true with all the other custom bbl makers. With a common factory bbl, IF it is rough (either leading, or with obvious "tight spots" when pushing a patch through) the abrasive bullets will help smooth things out, reduce leading, and make the bbl more uniform end-to-end. That's what the Tubb, and other abrasive bullet systems, were made for.Start with a $450 Kreiger match barrel, I speculate the break in instructions will be specific. Remington, not so much.
