Well, decided to go for the "Tubb's Final Finish" fire lapping system for my 7mm Rem Mag. Results are that it moved my throat forward about .030 (as advertised) and removed all the throat errosion except for two very very small spots. Polished bore very nicely. It was very bad to start with. Rifle is early Rem. 700. Was concerned at first with my new OAL figures, which were for sure longer than before. I loaded some 140gr. Nos. Partitions and some Barnes TSX 140 gr.Triple shock. Nosler was with 4350 powder and Barnes was with 4831. The group with the Nosler Partition 140 gr.was .8 ctc and the Barnes TSX 140gr. was .405 ctc. Both groups were 3 shot groups after a couple of foul the barrel shots. Barrel was cooled between shots. End result is that I have my accuracy back. I still have some copper fouling, but can clean spotless in about 20 minutes vice 3 days!! I would use the product again, but would probably not use the entire lot of Number 1, 2, and 3 rounds unless the throat/bore was as bad as my 7mm Rem Mag. Would use all of the polishing rounds.
Have decided to use it on my Savage 12BVSS, 22-250 for barrel break in. SSS recommended I use only half of the numbers 1,2 and 3 rounds and all polishing rounds. Will let you know what happend with this rifle.
