[QUOTE="liltank, post: 370110, member: 13275"] Another you should try if it is available to you is the Black Hills Ammo. The Federal Premium should shoot the best, but not necessarily so. As far as break in, shot 1... clean until a clean patch. Repeat the process for 5 shots. Then go to 3 shot strings and repeat. Then 5, then 10. At that point you should be able to clean with 1 wet and 2 or 3 dry patches. Don't forget your corp training. You have been taught some of the best shooting skills ever taught on a firing line. Your prone and kneeling positions will be your best taught attributes. Make sure you remember how to use the sling to ensure maximum accuracy. Rifle training is one thing I wish the Army would have focused on when I was in the Service. We didn't get all but a week of rifle training and qualification. I shot expert during practice. The day of qualification it was rainy, foggy, and windy. The 250 and 300 were all but impossible to hit. I still managed a sharp shooter badge. Tank [/QUOTE]
