Will a damaged crown still group??? Lets find out...

Reminds me to the video about Breaking in a new rifle.
Perhaps from the firing line, the rifle is thrown down a number of times and eventually the "breaker" declares "Now it is broken in".
 
That took a lot to mess up the crown.

I see lots of guys that tape the end of the barrel.
I assume to stop dirt and mud in the event of a trip and fall. Maybe even rain?
Wonder how that effects first round POI

I place a piece of electrical tape on the muzzle of all my hunting rifles when I'm walking around in the woods up at my cabin to prevent any dirt or debris from entering the barrel. Absolutely does not affect point of impact. The tape gets blown away before the bullet exits the barrel.
 
I have been taping the muzzle of my hunting rifles when afield for the
last 30 years. Never had an iota of effect on the point of impact.
As the poster above said, The tape gets blown away before the bullet exits the barrel. EE
