[QUOTE="25WSM, post: 1890006, member: 38048"] Barrel break in is important. Do the 1 shot and clean at least 5 times and then 3 shots and clean 5 times then 5 shot groups and clean. If you don't break it in the copper that gets put down on the first shots will keep the steel from getting smoother. A properly broke in barrel will be more accurate and allow more rounds between cleaning. And it will clean easier each time. Be prepared to spend some time cleaning. Those first 5 shots can take hours depending on how smooth the barrel is but the first 5 are the most important. 168 Berger's for me. The hunting vld shoots and kills great. First bullet I put in every one of them I build. About a dozen the last 2 yrs. Shep [/QUOTE]
