Just wondering what some of you are experiencing in round counts before your barrel settles in and velocity smooths out?
About the same for me too.My 2 cents worth,
Depending on the quality of the barrel, stock/factory vs. custom/match grade/aftermarket (which are often hand-lapped and muuuch smoother) the round count to "settle" a bore can vary a good amount - but usually I'd say in the range of 60 to 100 total break in shots to get everything consistent.
I'm generally happy at around that 100 round mark.
I have 3 proof carbon fiber barrels and from 70-160 rounds they are all done, around. vel ups between 50 to 100Just wondering what some of you are experiencing in round counts before your barrel settles in and velocity smooths out?
