One of the guys at my local store said that he used some silicon carbide, smeared some on the bullet head, and ran a few rounds through his rifle (SKS) and the rifling got sharpened up quite a bit, and his groups went from about 5" @ 100 yards (standard minute of pieplate for SKS's) to less then 3"...
My Mauser in 308 is not very accurate, and I was wondering if this was an option... My M1A with big barrel, does 1.5" standing with iron sights, but my Mauser with the V sights even on bags, don't do any better then 3"... I'm wondering if this will help, or if it's a "barrel quality limit" I've hit already that I can't really do anything about..
I figure since I have an SKS as well, I might give silicon carbide a try if it does what my store guy claims..
Any comments would be appreciated..
