[QUOTE="Buck44, post: 463497, member: 23567"] So do I break the barrel in on just any cheap ammo? I would like to have some idea what the gun is doing durring this period but I hate to waist expensive ammo to do that. Also is there any way to buy ammo off the shelf and expect anything good or do I just need to plan on hand loading to begin with? My Weatherby wouldn't group at all with factory ammo but I later learned that I was trying to shoot 150-170 grain bullets and because of the barrel twist it needed 200-250. It ended up doing the best on 220 but I have learned soooo much reading since then i want to go back and do it all over again. Is there a rule of thumb on barrel twist/ bullet weight? How do I know were to start? [/QUOTE]
