Yes. Your working to keep the throat area smooth. That is what Tubbs TMS bullets are all about. Abrasive embedded in the jacket material keeps the throat area smooth.Even in a barrel that's already been lapped?

Understand for a barrel that has a bunch of rounds down it, but are you saying it should be done for a new, lapped barrel?Yes. Your working to keep the throat area smooth. That is what Tubbs TMS bullets are all about. Abrasive embedded in the jacket material keeps the throat area smooth.
Yes, unless if your gunsmith is employing the method we do before he sends you bbl/action back to you. Then it is already broken in.Understand for a barrel that has a bunch of rounds down it, but are you saying it should be done for a new, lapped barrel?
If you were a smallbore shooter, the shoot and clean method is useless as you are shooting soft lead bullets. Those smallbore smiths must use a tool to smooth the throat area after chambering to make sure the metal is as smooth as it can be. That way the bbl can be used immediately as it is already smoothed (broken-in) when you get it. Those soft lead bullets don't smooth any raised steel tool marks.Yes, unless if your gunsmith is employing the method we do before he sends you bbl/action back to you. Then it is already broken in.
It is the chambering that raises the tool marks in the throat and those need to be smoothed out. The rest of the bbl is usually not a problem.
Yes, the blank is lapped, when its chambered you get marks and artifacts in the throat from the pilot of the reamer.Understand for a barrel that has a bunch of rounds down it, but are you saying it should be done for a new, lapped barrel?
Well, duh.Yes, the blank is lapped, when its chambered you get marks and artifacts in the throat from the pilot of the reamer.

Ain't this fun?
I would not use Diamond abrasive on the bore. YMMV
Waiting!Dave,
Tell us how you skin the cat!
jimmymac: Respectfully, it's not that at all, sir. I'm always happy to share and learn...that's the whole point of a discussion forum.Must need the secret handshake or something. Why even allude it if you aren’t willing to share something that may save a guy some time and energy?
Bob, after posting about using bullets with abrasive, I doubt you would understand what Dave uses. He ain't going to waste typewriter ribbon posting his method.Waiting!
Thanks for the defense Butch.Bob, after posting about using bullets with abrasive, I doubt you would understand what Dave uses. He ain't going to waste typewriter ribbon posting his method.
