[QUOTE="Three oh 8MX, post: 834538, member: 69840"] Thanks for the info guys. The rifle has a heavy factory 23-1/2" barrel with a round count between 5 - 600. It was scoped by a reputable smith as "very good". I'm guessing it is already seasoned. I think we'll shoot it until it looks like accuracy has deteriorated and see if a cleaning helps it regain said accuracy. If/when we get to the point that the factory barrel is shot out, a Krieger would be high on the list for a replacement. The bullets we have to start with are standard hunting types: Hornady 150gr Interlock Remington 165gr PSP I'm guessing we'll move away from the flat base bullets in the future. At worse these will be great to fire form cases. -chris [/QUOTE]
