Do not know about lapping yet - It really is not that bad down the bore but I do want to shoot it more and see what the results might be.
I have some brass sabotless bullets that I can add some lapping compound to and shoot. I think they will do a great job lapping the bore.
The other thing, actually two things about this bore that I really like is the a Sierra .4515 x 300 grain bullet will drop right down the bore... and the second important fact to me is the barrel really feels consistent size top to bottom.
This is the bullet I would use to fire lap
Even this a bullet a .452x265 gr. could possibly be pushed down. Have not tried it yet but when you set it in the crown either bottom first or top first it drops right the knurling line around the bullet. Wouldn't that be a heck of a bullet shot from a 45 fast twist.
