Thread: 500 BPE load advice

If we are talking just the gun and not the shooter,I would say the bore is being "seasoned".

You have only fired a few shots after god knows how long that gun has been idle.All the rough spots,rust,dried oil etc are being shot out the end/filled up etc.

You may have fired your first two from an oiled bore as well.I wouldnt expect any kind of stability for a good 50 shots and even more after you have cleaned it and fired it a few times.

Thats what I recon anyhow.

That's not very helpful @norsk I was planning on going hunting with it on the West Coast this weekend when I'm over there.
I want it to settle down before then but don't fancy running that many rounds through it in such a short time span
