I finally got the new P.D. rifle out to the range yesterday. I spent a couple of hours doing barrel break-in with the whole fire one shot - clean thoroughly, fire one shot thing. I was just putting them into the berm, but tweaking the scope as I did.
About the fourth or fifth shot the tiny twig I was aiming at just disappeared in a shower of dirt so I decided I was close enough to put up some paper. The next three shots with cleaning in between went about 5/16" @ 100 yards with factory ammo and a pretty blustery wind. By then I was out of time and had to leave.
One three shot group doesn't prove much but it looks encouraging...
