[QUOTE="Pacecount, post: 2746509, member: 93281"] A long time ago I received a new M24 and had to break in the barrel. I would tell you that my initial 3 round group was about 1”. The process used by the military takes 100 rounds. 10 x 1 round and clean to metal after each shot. 10x 3 rounds 10x 5 rounds 1x 10 rounds Post break-in I was shooting one ragged hole. With that said, modern technology has produced better quality barrels and in some cases barrels that are lapped depending on who you get the rifle from. My recommendation is to follow the break-in procedure recommended by your barrel manufacturer unless otherwise noted. [/QUOTE]
