DIY TMS

[46and2]

Does anyone tumble bullets to duplicate Tubbs TMS. I know several people who swear by it.

I've never really been a fan of firing abrasives down my barrels but I'd like to try to smooth some firecracking on a 26 Nosler throat.

Would Iosso bore cleaner work the same?
Thanks.

Remington 40x abrasive bore cleaner

For as few of the TMS bullets you'd use at a time, might as well just buy em.
They work well

46and2,

You can roll your own with the NECO kit. The kit contains directions for loads and how to roll your own. I just use the abrasives on a tight patch.

HTH,

Use the blue jb on a patch.

I have tested the TMS bullets in two barrels now. They really work. I have the groups to prove it, and borescope pictures.

There are a bunch of bullets in the kit. More than you need for the life of a barrel. Maybe two barrels.

Tms bullets do not polish. They smooth the machine marks and fire cracking.

This is true. You don't ever want to polish.
[J-B Non-Embedding Bore Cleaning Compound] provides similar surface profile.
Either is good
