[QUOTE="Rod Snell, post: 1448366, member: 796"] In a high-quality barrel, it does no good and can actually cause harm. Sort of like having your appendix out just because your neighbor had to have an appendectomy, but you have no symptoms. With a Ruger, I'd shoot several several hunderd rounds of jacketed and evaluate accuracy carefully before making any decision that I might regret. The people that waste money screwing up a good barrel don't brag about it on the internet, so take the endorsements with a grain of salt. If you're planning to shoot lead bullets in a revolver, the first thing to check is the cylinder throats size compared to the bore. They should ideally be .001" larger than the bore, and if they are smaller than the bore, that is the problem that needs fixing. Brownells has cylinder throat reamers to keep the holes round.
