Its good for tight spots or burrs WITH USER SELF CONTROL !!! Steel wool is MUCH gentler . It basicaly GENTLELY smooths things out . Scotch brite WILL remove material ,especially anything coarser than the WHITE . Be Carefull with scotch brite !!! It CAN work in a Hurry to Your Suprise And Woe !!!
I've been hesitant to use any scotch brite in a barrel. it seems much more abrasive than the steel wool.
i was thinking the sameI don’t do a lot with the scotch but it is great for rusted barrels.
I’ll finish the barrel off with Steel wool to Smooth things out.
Heres a news flash guys---i may just save my old 54 bk92 barrel !!! Its not a 54 anymore but its SLICK and pretty dam consistant too !!! Bravo it got rusted BAD when i lent it years ago . I think im gonna be able to save it ....maybe !!! We'll see....i was thinking the same
Not really . I have and do use both on a regular basis actually . The 0000 will polish like chrome eventually . Scotch brite wont . It will be fine but no shine . By hand that is . By machine the 0000 will still have more gloss . 0000 is an excellant burnisher , and thats break -in in a nutshell .There are several grits of scotch Brite pads. The white pads are less abrasive than 0000 wool pads.
I so enjoy reading & learning all this stuff. TYNot really . I have and do use both on a regular basis actually . The 0000 will polish like chrome eventually . Scotch brite wont .

Very well stated brotha! I really have grown very fond of this forum. It has rather quickly become a part of my everyday life since I joined last Aug. I look forward to reading the new posts when they get posted in the mornin. My days now start off with EGGO waffles, DBL size Starbucks< yes a Starbucks guzzlin cultured redneck, watchin the sun come up & the new day begin readin in MML forum & interacting, makin myself a small part of this awesome community for exactly what you wrote. Kind regards allI was thinking that youtube is almost like being with the person, watching, listening, but not able to communicate and they don't know you're there. It's very cool that way. But this forum is more about SHARING ideas and info, discussing different ways to do things. Being a part of the process instead of just watching it.

That all sounds like a pretty dang nice RUT Lee. Thanks for the wonderful postNinering62
Well we start the day almost the same. 2 blueberry toaster waffles, 2 microwave sausage patties, a little buttery syrup, a cup of Kurieg coffe, and watch the sun come up, on the patio with my bird feeders full of Chickadees and Cardinals and now Robins and Bluejays. Reading mail from all the forums that I follow, ML, MML, FML, 58 Remington Forum, and Colt Country Forum. This is how I start every morning except I do vary breakfast. Am I in a rut or what?

I just did this with my new Optima this evening. The first 2 passes were ROUGH, and with each pass, it got smoother. Something must be going on in there. I stopped at 20 passes. Cleaned up the oil with a few dry patches and put it up.
I should get a chance to shoot it next week when I get the current jobs I'm doing finished.
Thanks Idaholewis for this thread as I was just going to load and shoot when I got the chance, this may save me from some headache down the road.
Ahh, ok. I don't have any Montana Extreme but I do have JB. I'll spend a little time polishing the bore. 50 strokes, eh? Shouldn't take long at all.
Thanks again.
