[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 684170, member: 2736"] If the rifle is new, It will need at least 50 or 60 rounds shot through it to get it broke in. Use the super x to do this. Shoot 3 to 5 rounds and clean with a bronze brush and repeat the process.(Factory chrome Molly barrels need more break-in than custom barrels because they are not lapped. You will know when you are close to getting it broke in when it cleans with only 3 or 4 patches. Once it is well broke in It will probably shoot much better with the Super x ammo. If not ,try the Winchester supreme Ballistic silver tips, They have a premium bullet (Nosler). Federal and Corbon are the only other ammo making the 7 wsm that I know of ,but I have not tried ether of them. You also may try (After break-in) torquing the action to 35 inch/pounds and shooting, then increase the torque to 40 inch/pounds if it is a walnut stock don't exceed 45 inch/pounds. If it has a bedding block don't exceed 65 inch/pounds. If this doesn't improve it, bedding is the next step. Hope this helps. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
