Once the barrel is cleaned, does it need some slug shots to relead the barrel before accuracy increases or is the accuracy there with slugs immediately after barrel cleaning?

Normally it doesn't move much, but it does move. So there will be a few shots prior to the groups. Normally 5-10 shots is sufficient to re-establish zero. Based on both my personal experience and that of others (with a much greater level of experience/expertise) a well-prepped barrel should not require many (if any)shots to lead in. If the bore is smooth, there is nothing for lead to fill in.....If all goes well before this weekend is out I will test that theory.What I referenced as lapping paper is actually polishing paper. Please note I am not endorsing nor recommending its use, if you choose to use this tread carefully as it can be aggressive.
