One place that many don't consider is the junction where the barrel and frame come together . If the factory had to really " torque " the barrel to index the front sight , there will be a tight spot at that junction point . I had one revolver with a 4 thousandths "choke " there . That is huge . With a little effort and patience it was easily removed . Good Luck

Bullet fit is still king. Get that wrong, alloy, lube, doesn't matter. I don't slug bores, but always go bigger than jacketed, 0.0015" for most. I am not shooting long range BP but mostly pistol out to 100.
I have used all kinds of bullet lubes, but like several from White Label; BAC with no heater & CR with a heater.
