[QUOTE="okierider, post: 3328888, member: 41708"] Had this at the range today to run some loads . Have really been kind of disappointed with the lack of accuracy from 2 different Hornady factory ammo's I have tried and along with my hand loads I took another Hornady box out Hornady black....... > well it ran well..... Bipod and sand bag I got 1.5 MOA and drop the flyer it was 1 inch. Ran my hand loads and again 29.5 LVR under 123gr SST seems to be the best. Going to see about finding some IMR 8208 and give that a try. Any way, I had some of the Hornady American gunner left in the bag (8 rounds) ......... Low and behold it ran well. So here is a question for all you rifle gurus, how many rounds does it take for a barrel to settle in and will this thing keep getting better with use. All told I have maybe 200 +- down the pipe, Should I wait and run some more cheap stuff through the pipe and see how much better it gets before I spend a bunch of time working on hand loads? [/QUOTE]
