I just got the supplies to do it in the mail yesterday.  I have a 535 and an 870 20 gauge to do it to.

my test have shown me that I will gain at least 15% more hits. That is the smallest gain I have gotten, most are around 20%

I am shooting an 835 Ulti, having a hard time getting a good pattern from it . Just purchased a PG .670 and a box of Hevi-13 #6. Hoping that will make a big differance. I am also thinking about polishing the barrel. Thanks for the input.

Hi Guys

Polishing the barrel is new to me. Can you explain how it is done and what is needed  to do it.

thanks
