From the aforementioned link http://www.riflebarrels.com/support/...aintenance.htm "For an effective break-in the barrel should be cleaned after every shot for the first 10-12 rounds or until copper fouling stops. Our procedure is to push a cotton patch that is wet with solvent through the...

Have a look at the following link - an attempt to objectively quantify various steps to improve accuracy, including the Tubbs fire-lapping system. http://www.chuckhawks.com/affordable_accuracy.htm

Ok, Ok, I know barrel break-in has been discussed and debated ad nauseum. This is NOT another should-a-barrel-be-broken-in thread. Assume for a moment that a standard factory barrel (Rem/Win/Sav/etc) has some burrs and etc and that it will fire better (less fouling, possibly better...

I ran across the following article that attempts an honest before-and-after test of the Tubbs system of fire lapping on two different rifles. The result was an almost 40% improvement in accuracy (grouping size) in both rifles. Have a look, and let me know whether there are any flaws in the test...

Regarding the efficacy of Tubbs Final Finish, I ran across the following article that attempts an honest before-and-after test of the Tubbs system on two different rifles. The result was an almost 40% improvement in accuracy (grouping size) in both rifles. Have a look, and let me know whether...

Great input from all. Effective shot-placement is assumed, and for this discussion I'm thinking chest-cavity. Below are some general ballistics comparisons for the .22 range. LR and WM data from CCI website, Hornet and .223 from Shootingtimes. Drop based on zero at 200 yards. For the...

Hi all, a newbee to the forum. I've been discussing this with friends, and would like to get the opinion of THR members on the following. If you could only have two bolt action hunting rifles for all around hunting from varmit and 'yotes, up to moose and maybe even bear (essentially all...
