[QUOTE="WildRose, post: 1457237, member: 30902"] It sounds like a very promising start. It also sounds as though you are just shooting it and not following any sort of break in procedure. My advice would be to clean the snot out of it before you take it back out, then clean after every third shot for 3 rounds, every 6th for a couple of rounds, then after every twenty for a couple of rounds until it tightens up. During break in you're knocking all the little rough spots and sharp edges off as well as smoting out the machining marks and you don't want them to fill up with copper and carbon or it will take hundreds of rounds before it ever really gets broken in even if then. Also the more religious you are about doing the break in right, the less trouble it will be to clean in the future. Have fun! [/QUOTE]
