[QUOTE="Bionic Badger, post: 2924347, member: 103167"] Why not just shoot any bullet that you would shoot in your rifle keeping with cleaning and maintenance as with any rifle? I cannot see how any specific bullet is supposed to train your barrel to do what the manufacturer intended which is to shoot any bullet that is safely loaded within SAAMI specs. Same with the deer or other game animal. Proper selection of bullet and bullet weight selected for intended game will wreak havoc on the animal. I get that Barnes makes a premium bullet, but any bullet with proven performance will do what it is supposed to if you do your part: shot placement, consider distance and factors like cross winds which do not push your bullet but carries your bullet traveling at several hundreds of feet per second a little leftward or rightward, similar to an airplane is somewhat effected by crosswinds. Simply seeing your rifle as a tool, like a socket set, there are different qualities for sure, and it will get better broken in over time, just as a Snap-on ratchet, or a Craftsman breaks in, gets better over time. Are of differing quality but do not come with recommendations to only use on certain types of nuts and bolts until so many usages have occurred. Sorry to go on so, but to me there is no mystery as to the type of bullets needed to be used the dayurst 100, 200 or more shots just as there are no special kinds of nuts or bolts that need to be tackled in loosening or tightening with that new ratchet one buys. You probably already can tell I would suggest Hoppe’s gun cleaner over some state of the art conglomeration of a cleaner for: cleaning your rifle barrel, bore and action…same with gun oils used sparingly and judiciously. Did not mean to get on my soapbox, but just sayin’ feed the Howa correct caliper bullets and if target shooting, the paper won’t know the difference; if hunting use size specific to game tested on targets in sighting in s as bd you should find success with proper bullet placement.
