Firelapping Question

[denton]

As I said in an earlier post, I have three rifles that I shot with very high graphite powder, and which are now "problem children". One one of them, I have scrubbed, and scrubbed, and scrubbed, and still get soot out the muzzle. This particular rifle is my pride and joy 6.5x55 Pac-Nor/FN.

I tried shooting it again Saturday, but the durn thing just would not settle down and shoot... 3-4 rounds within 1/2", and the next one 1 1/2" away. Copper fouled to beat the band. 20 rounds, and I had copper racing stripes down the inside of my barrel... and I did the shoot 1 and clean for 10 rounds, and shoot 3 and clean for 30 rounds thing on it, too.

I'm pretty ambivalent toward firelapping, and am looking for some info. What do you all think of this approach? Seems like it would restore the bores.
