[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 2459964, member: 10291"] Once I find a load that shoots well, (which I will overlap with the break in process), I have found that 100/200 yard accuracy usually remains pretty consistent from that point through life of the barrel. If anything, many new barrels have displayed there best accuracy when new. The aspect that does change with time is an increase in velocity which has been with as little as 50 rounds, and as much as 200 where the velocity stabilizes. This can many times influence accuracy/ES. I have rarely had an initially poor shooting barrel(given sufficient load testing) get better with time unless a defect was detected(ie crown, carbon ring, etc). [/QUOTE]
