[QUOTE="Rich Coyle, post: 2401010, member: 70559"] A friend loaned me his .223 rifle to break in and work up a load. I brought the ammo for my .223 and lots of cleaning stuff to the range. Then I realized I didn't have the cleaning rod. There was no way I was leaving without firing a three shot group. It measured 3/8" with a tape measure. I called him. He asked me to meet him in Klamath Falls, Oregon. We were both hours away from there and each other. He stepped off 110 long steps. Put up a target. Placed some sandbags on the hood of his pickup and fired five shots. The group was .400". All this is to say break in does not make an accurate rifle accurate. [/QUOTE]
