[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1430744, member: 12995"] For break-in, it will take about 50 rounds or so for the barrel to settle-in and the groups to start being consistent. Shooting factory ammo during break-in to get fire formed brass for reloading, is a good way of killing 2 birds with 1 stone. Shoot 3 shots, run a wet patch & jag coated in RemOil down it to clean out any loose copper and powder granules, then let it cool. Repeat over and over. I prefer Nosler brass for my belted magnums, so I would say pickup some of the cheapest Nosler factory ammo you can and then gradually shoot those up. Or just buy a couple boxes of new Nosler brass, and a couple boxes of bullets and make up some handloads.
