Did some lapping with 220 and 320 grit kit from Wheeler today.
Just 25 yard target for something to aim at.
50gr Gearhart-owen 3fg
270gr and 295gr powerbelts
The 270gr powerbelt platinums seemed to shoot better, but I preferred the 295s as the skirt gives a better seal and they load tighter. A great deal of bearing surface to apply that polishing compound to.
I did clean the bore between shots for best polishing results. Haven't cleaned it yet, but that last 295 powerbelt loaded real nice and smooth.
Just using the powerbelts for the bore polishing process. Will switched to balls afterward.
But overall I am super pleased! I restored the gun a little while back and finally got it out on the range.
Lock and triggers feel awesome.
