I took the new rifle out to the range today and did the full blown Weatherby Gospel break in. I used Weatherby Premium Plus ammo with 110g Accubond bullets. This is the second time I've done one of these break ins and it's pretty cool to watch the rifle just shoot better and better and better. The drawback is that it's very tiring and by the time you get to the end your not shooting as well as the rifle can.
The only complaint I have is that around the 8th 3 round group the trigger began to develop a gritty creep. It's entirely possible that it got Bore Tech in it since I wasn't stingy with it at all. I'll field strip it and clean it out with contact cleaner. If it still persists after that, I just happen to have a Timney sitting on the shelf that fits this rifle. Go figure... LOL.. The attached picture is of the 7th of the 3 round groups and the best I shot. I sort of fell apart after that and the groups opened up but that was me and not the rifle.
The other thing I think is work mentioning is that this rifle is a joy to shoot. My first shot was from my lead sled and It barely moved. I took it out of the sled and shot all the rest from a bench rest bag.
You're going to have to look close at the attachment to see all 3 rounds but they are there, I promise.
All in all, I love this rifle caliber. Smokin fast, dead on accurate and a real joy to shoot. I'll stop short of calling 40 rounds and 20 cleanings a joy but I'm sold on it being a good break in procedure.
