Hey everyone. I have a bolt action .308 (Remington) that I got a while back. I believe it is in prime condition, never been fired. Well I was watching the movie Shooter this past weekend and it finally dawned on me that I need to get this rifle out and shoot to see how accurate I can get it to.
A co-worker suggested lapping the bore of the barrel, in addition to the bolt. He suggested maybe using this bullets to help with this:
BROWNELLS : SUPERIOR SHOOTING : FINALFINISH™ SYSTEM - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools
He also said that you can use lapping compounds with regular bullets as well.
BROWNELLS : BROWNELLS : GARNET LAPPING COMPOUNDS - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools
BROWNELLS : BROWNELLS : LAPPING COMPOUNDS - World's Largest Supplier of Firearm Accessories, Gun Parts and Gunsmithing Tools
Does anyone have any suggestions of their own? Is there anyone in the central Indiana area that does this for people? If so, does anyone know their price range? If I get the bullets myself, I will need to have them loaded into the shell casings. Anyone know of anyone who loads .308?
