I usually do on my other MLs but my Savage is pretty close to .500-.501 in unfired condition. I was considering using the least abrasive polish/cleaner i have (ME Copper Cream) to try and keep it tight.
I also have Montana Extreme Bore Shine and the milder of the two JB bore polishes.

I had a 6.5 X 284 built buy the IMHO best gun smith in Va and he told me that I could scrub with JBs bore polish until Christ comes home ;D and would never remove enough metal to matter or to measure with the finest equipment. |

My 50 cal had 200 strokes with JB bore polish. I thought that was good enough until tar12 told me I was half way home. I'm not as experienced as alot of the guys here when it comes to bore polishing but I don't think you could ever over do it with JB polish

Deadon's statement is right on! You will never remove a measurable amount of metal with JB if you stroke it 200 time a day for the next ten weeks!!  I don't know where people get the idea that JB is "lapping" compound?  Richard |

It will clean the crud out real good but that is where it stops. If you have not used it before you will be amazed by the smooth feeling at the next range session...
