Cleaned and lapped out the bore a bit more.
Looks shinier each time.
I forced a tight fitting patch through and it left 3x little tips of cloth where there is sharp sink holes.
I bumped and lapped a bit more in that tight area and I’m hoping it may help some.
Fire lapped 5 bullets with metal cleaner through it with a very light charge.
Might try it before I do a groove Lapp and see how it goes.
You can see where the heel has not quite bumped up to fill the grooves yet
The groove diameter is dark, alla rust and gook.
Maybe best to keep it that way.
The collected bullet seems a lot more consistent push through the rifle again, well not too bad anyway, it don’t jump in spots and seems tighter at the muzzle now.
Might be worth a go.
Slowly slowly catch the monkey.
Think the dimensions at the tightest are now 0.3135-0.322"
