In my case, the muzzy's best groups were about 2.5" at 100 yards (3 shot groups) - after the job, the best group has been 1.25" - a pretty noticeable improvement.
I hear ya. I understand the basic process, but I'm too afraid to attempt it on my (rather expensive, for me anyway) rifle, because if I screw up, the results can be permanent or very difficult to fix.
