With limited development, it shot 180gr Sciroccos and 200gr Accubonds under MOA at 100 yds.
As far as break in, I subscribe in part to the Gale McMillan theory.
How to Break-in a Barrel
I did clean it before shooting, and after 5 rounds of load work up. Then I just shot it till just before removing it from my action a few days ago. It took about 10 patches of Bore Tech Eliminator to get to white with no blue color. About the same as my Benchmark and Rock Creek barrels.
