Thank you.

I haven’t personally seen or read anything that shows definitive accuracy issues by not “breaking in” a new barrel. So, generally I just shoot it with however many rounds I brought that particular day. Also, I believe you will not see the actual accuracy of a barrel till it fouls up properly. What I usually do with a new barrel is to shoot how ever many rounds I brought then, clean it really well at home base. The next few range trips after that get no cleaning till I see the accuracy falling off. I will run a bore snake through it every now and then though.

Convince me otherwise and I might listen.

So we shall flow a river forth to Thee, and teeming with souls shall it ever be.

Yesterday I received the ammo I ordered from Grafs. Unfortunately, I will be out of town on the next open range days (5th and 6th) for the Sheriffs Range. So, looks like some time in February if I can’t get out to Okeechobee to shoot (1.25hr drive). I’m going to look into a club membership this coming year and see if it’ll be worth it for me.

Contact rifle manufacturer see what bullet weight they suggest for your rifle. Also make sure scope is set up properly. for example torque specs on most Mil spec rifle scopes are from 12 to 15 inch pounds and stock to metal parts are 30 to 40 inch pounds.
Most of all practice makes pefect and use the same brass and bullets all the time when you get your optics sighted in.............
