Finally got to the range with the new toy. Tried to break the barrel in with Winchester 150 gr factory rounds. Not the best idea I ever had but wanted the brass. Rounds were all over the paper at 100 meters, high, low , left, right I mean every where !!! So bad I though the scope was screwed. Switched up to some hand loads from Peter at Hnuaktaks in Lantz and WOW what a differance. Within 4 rounds was making ragged holes with it. Cant beleive it !!!!! Anyway just a little info for you folks to save you some time LOL !!!

My 10BA did the same thing, however, after about 30-40 rounds, things settled down to around 1 MOA with commercial ammo. Working up some handloads which I suspect will improve on those results.
my 10 fp was a bit squirely as well cleaned it worked the accutrigger spring in and out a few times lubed it well tightened everything back down fired more rounds heres what i got 3 shots at 100 yards in a 1 inch aquare, it shoots better than me, lol

Hey guys, thanks for jumping in and sharing. Its shooting great with the hand loads 167gr lupas. Loving it so far, going out again tomorrow to see how she works after a real good cleaning, and out to 300 meters. Still have some factory stuff left over so I will try them out again. If not back to the handloads, beleive it or not they are cheaper if I supply the brass !
