Input on Browning x-bolt hells canyon

[Matth]

I have had the 26 nosler in hells canyon speed for about a year now. I'm running 140 grain accubonds 86 grains of us869 nosler brass and federal primers, and it's less that 1/2 moa. also fun to shoot with the brake.

Pretty much a do-all rifle there !  Nice.  Bet its a nice shooter with the break and 7mm too.

Great looking rifle. Bet she shoots lights out. Great scope too, that's probably what I'm topping my 300 with

What barrel break in procedure are you going to use?

Miles,
A version of a typical break in

Clean
1 shot - clean
1 shot - clean
1 shot - clean
1 shot - clean
3 shots - clean
3 shots - clean
3 shots - clean

Letting the barrel cool between shots and clean it hard with a bore snake

Then I'll start doing 3 shot groups with different bullets and clean in between to see what she likes. I have 6 different bullets to try today. LUCKILY I ONLY HAD TO BUY 4 BOXES

180 grain Remington ultra coreloks
180 grain Hornady Interlocks
180 grain Federal TBT
180 grain Winchester XP3
190 grain Nosler Accubond LR
200 grain Federal Edge TLR

and then I have a buddy putting together some handloads for me with
180 Accubonds
180 Partitions
190 Accubond LR


Nothing too special but its what Ive always done

A lot of guys will go to 3  at 5 shot after the 3 shot series before grouping
