[QUOTE="Dollarhyde, post: 1933697, member: 21784"] 1. Blast 80 rounds through the new barrel. Clean it. 2. Blast 5 rounds through barrel. 3. Choose most appropriate powder from research. 4. Log charge:velocity windows to look for speed nodes. Graph data in excel. 5. Choose the most forgiving node in terms of grainage. Bias on low side if heading into summer. Bias on high side if heading into winter. 6. Seat bullets to lands. Take Lee Hand Press to range and set progresively deeper until accuracy shows best COAL. 7. Brake tune if it's even needed. 1 range trip to break the gun in and have fun. 1 range trip to get a good load that will last a 1000 rounds or more. [/QUOTE]
