[QUOTE="bcstoneram, post: 2628733, member: 31741"] If you're cleaning the copper out, and following the break in procedure, they do promise you it will hold a 1" group with factory ammo. I have a Ridgeline in 300 RUM, and it groups 3/8" at 100, and sun moa out to 1,100. When I worked at Barnes, I had wonderful results with IMR4831, Federal 215M primers, and I'm sure it will work in your rifle.
