Soft Lead Slugging Bullets, bag of 10

The very best way to check the bore for constrictions, loose spots and rough spots is to "feel' the bore. The best way to "feel" the bore is to manually push a slug through the bore. As you push the slug through a well greased bore, you can note where the aberrations occur and mark them on your pushing rod or dowel. As you change grits in the fire lapping process, slug the bore. You will feel the improvement brought about by the firelapping process. Our pure lead slugging bullets are sold in bags of 10 except the .510 bullets. They are sold individually.   Shipped USPS small flat rate box  (yes, they've raised their rates again) - $11.50.  (ignore erratic web-site shopping cart calculator)

How Fire (Pressure) Lapping Works

Fire lapping drives abrasive-coated bullets through the bore to lap out reamer marks, tight spots and constrictions that hurt accuracy and trap fouling. NECO's pressure-lapping method uses graded grits so you cut only as much as the barrel needs.

Abrasive Grades, Barrel Lapping Kits & Bullets

Choose the Economy Abrasives Kit or Four Abrasives Kit for a full graded set, or buy individual jars of abrasive paste to top up. Soft lead slugging bullets let you slug the bore first to find the tight spots worth addressing.

When Should You Fire Lap a Barrel?

Rough factory barrels, coppering bores and hard-to-clean rifles benefit most; a good barrel usually doesn't need it. Always clean thoroughly between stages - see bore cleaning supplies - and pair with other accuracy enhancement tools for best results.
