[QUOTE="earlcurtis67, post: 802578, member: 47174"] took my new vanguard s2 in 25-06 to the range the other day to do a barrel break-in. I've all ways been a "just start shooting them" kinda guy, but figured id try breaking one in, especially since weatherby recommends this, what could I loose. set my target up at 50 yds. and started the process, shot the prescribed 10 rnds, cleaning after each shot ( using hopps to clean powder and sweetes for fouling). then I fired 2,3 shot groups before time ran out. my question for yall is after the second three shot group the accuracy was not very impressive, enough so that I'm concerned, granted, I only used one type of ammo 120 gn core locs and the barrel break in was not technically completed, should I be concerned on just patient ?? I was shooting on a bag and rest, and checked my scope when I got home, ill go back in a couple of days and finish the break in and also bring some different ammo. any suggestions and help would be appreciated. ps the last group was about 2.5" @50 yds.)
