[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 173449, member: 2736"] Diezel Take things one at a time! #1 break the barrel in with about 20 to 30 rounds and clean after every shot for the first 10 shots,Then clean after every 2or 3 shots for the next 10. By then you should feel the bore getting slick. #2 Now after a good cleaning Shoot several groups to see if they group or string (dont worry about the size just the shape) because a line of hits horizontal or vertical normaly means a poor stock to action/barrel fit. #3 If it shoots a round group then all it may need is some load development.If not go to step #4. #4 Bed the entire action but leave the tip pressure point.(It can be removed later) to help align the action during bedding. #5 Shoot to see if bedding helped ,if not remove the pressure point and shoot again.with barrel floated . #6 Only take one step at a time and you may find that it shoots well with out a lot of work. #7 At this point it should be just a mater of load development to get the most out of your rifle. It sounds like a lot of work but it's worth it to get a good shooting rifle in the end. I guarantee 1/2 MOA on all of the custom rifles that I build and this is the method that I use because it works for me. If a factory rifle has a good barrel it can be made to shoot well.
