[QUOTE="cabelasken, post: 2599976, member: 117774"] I've always used long for caliber bullets to get as much bearing surface against the barrel to maybe accelerate the break in and shorten the amount of shots needed. My 300 WSM needed 150+ shots before it settled in with initial groups being over 1 1/4" and by 150 rounds was below 1/2". This was with a shilen SS select barrel. [/QUOTE]
