When a chamber is cut into a rifled blank using a reamer, it can leave sharp edges, high spots and the like. Just get a cleaning swab for the correct bore size, rub the lapping compound all over it. Less copper and powder fouling. The benefits of lapping the bore are: After an extensive cleaning, you may be surprised to find the bore actually looks worse and even rougher! When i lap a crown, i use lapping compound on either a 45 acp round (for 6.5mm or 30 cal barrels) or 9mm ball round (.22 or 6mm. It's actually very simple, just labor intensive. The lapping removes miniscule tool marks from the bore with the intent of reducing fouling and improving accuracy. The barrel will clean much easier (less. More consistency in velocity and accuracy.
