[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2599995, member: 68875"] Honestly, if you have a good custom rifle, and it doesn't shoot well within 30 rounds, change something. No way would I pursue a combo that didn't shoot sub 1/2 MOA within the first 18 shots from a new barrel with just a quick charge weight test. Not even joking a little bit. If it takes 100-150 rounds for a barrel to "settle down" and shrink groups from 1.5MOA to .5MOA, there is something wrong. Either you didn't find the right jump initially and had to erode the throat to get the jump it liked, or had a crappy lapping/chamber job, or something. I have had numerous rifles that put shots 4-6 into .2s (1-3 were for sighting in). [/QUOTE]
