[QUOTE="Schnyd112, post: 1422128, member: 90453"] Same experience over three cut rifled barrels. Not so much sped up, and definitely not a linear curve, but the end result was more speed than when I started. The issue has been inconsistency for the first 150 or so rounds. To combat this, I have started trying several bullets for the first 150ish rounds with mild loads. Your barrel will tell you if it doesn’t like the bullet at 100 yards. Then, by the time everything has settled in, I have a pretty good idea of where to start serious load development and what bullets I didn’t like. Factory barrels I am usually more worried about copper so I use a different approach. [/QUOTE]
