[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1749839, member: 52437"] Are you a new shooter? Not trying to be mean but you are asking a very new shooter question. Every manufacturer has a barrel breakin procedure and none of them claim 1moa accuracy during the breakin. Also, many times off the shelf rifles may need 40-100 rounds down the tube before the barrel “settles” and gives its best accuracy. For example, I had a remington that at best would shoot 1.3inch groups out of the box. Remington asked me how many rounds down the tube. I told them 30. They said shoot 70 more and if still not acceptable call them back sure enough, about 70 rounds later the gun became a .75inch gun at 100 yards. as for barrel breakin. For non-lapped barrels...most companies will say shoot 10 shots with cleaning in between EVERY shot. Then shoot something like five 3 shot groups with cleaning between each of the 3 shot groups. They say repeat this until fouling/cleaning becomes relatively easy [/QUOTE]
