[QUOTE="royinidaho, post: 94097, member: 2011"] [b]grit:[/b] Looks like the rifle has had very few rounds fired through it. Also looks like a factory winchester, correct? If a 'dedicated' barrel breakin process wasn't used, I'd say you're still in the breakin phase of things. A factory barrel is a factory barrel is a factory barrell. Google on Dan Lilja for breakin process and darn good look at the difference between hand polished custom and factory. I'd start your accuracy tests with a clean bbl. That is all copper and powder fouling gone. Squeeky clean. I'd also load a double batch of your first accuracy load. Shoot the first batch. If they are bonkers compared to the second batch then you know that you need some foulers. Also a couple of repetitions of this you'll know how many foulers, if any, are needed. Log all shots, to help with any trending. Then just keep on doin' what you're doin' till you're satisfied. It'll be so much fun you'll nearly forget that you are supposed to 'harvest' things with the rifle. After about 3000 rounds you'll have that barrel worn out and you can start all over again [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] [b]green788:[/b] Need a little further insight into your process. I've studied your process and think I understand what you are getting at. My problem is that at up to 350-400 yds I'm doing well. But out at 740 and beyond the velocity spread of my loads (matched neck turned cases, same powder weight, .003 max out of round) cause enough variation in drop that I miss my full size steel coyote on a regular basis. Will the OCW process help with this or is it meant to get me to this point.... Thanks Roy [/QUOTE]
