I had a difficult time finding a load for my CZ 550 Ultimate Hunting Rifle 300 Win Mag.About a 2 inch group was the best I could get out of it at 200 yards.OK,but I felt like it should do a little better than that.I was thinking about getting a custom barrel put on it,but before I did,I thought I'd give Tubb's Final Finish Bullet Kit a try.I was amazed,I could see my groups start to tighten up after the first five shots.By the time I got to the last bullets in the kit,I was shooting a 1 inch group at 200 yards.That was the best this rifle had ever done.The other day I finally made it back out to the range to try a few test loads to see how it would do.I think I'll stick with this one!

Awesome. 200 yard target, wow! That's even measuring the outside of the group. Great info on the Tubb's kit, I always wondered.

Thanks for sharing.

I always hear people badmouthing the kit on here, but it is one of the first things I do to every rifle. Each has shot better afterwards. I don't use all the bullets, just depends on how rough I think the barrel is as to how many I'll run through it.

Wow that's impressive @ 100 yds! Awesome!

I have used the kit on tubes that get excessive fouling, and results have been good but only on the copper issue not on accuracy. This is incredible.

I did another rifle with Tubb's Finial Finish.It was a CZ 550 30/06.It shot OK,but I thought it should do a little better.I didn't use all the courser 1 and 2 bullets,they are the ones in the top two targets.Once I got to 3,4 and 5 I shot all ten into the middle and the two bottom targets.This was at 100yds.Looks like she tightened right up.

Final Finish will fixed a burred up throat in a new rifle, or help it anyway, and it will make a factory bore smoother, IME. I did it to a 223 Ruger and when I cleaned between grits you could tell that rough bore was smoothing out from the drag on the patch/rod.

Those are some really impressive results. I've often wondered how well these kits would work, glad to see someone do a nice write up on them.

I used it too in my 25-06 and got better accuracy. I could also feel the difference when I pushed the cleaning rod through, no more little "grabby" spots.

Tubbs makes a throat maintenance kit for that problem.I have been impressed with his products.He has some very informative videos and they are worth watching.
