Barrel Break-In with Sawtooth Rifles
This guide details a practical approach to breaking in new rifle barrels and establishing an accurate zero, as demonstrated by Matt of Sawtooth Rifles. It emphasizes starting with initial sighting at 25 yards, moving to 100 yards for group confirmation, and utilizing ballistic data from a chronograph to achieve effective long-range accuracy. The process highlights that barrel break-in is a real phenomenon affecting the first 20-40 rounds, leading to minor changes in performance and potential velocity increases.
