    Greetings All,
    I have heard a number of reports of velocity increases as a new rifle barrel wears in, generally about the 300 to 500 round mark. It makes sense. A bit like a new car being a bit stiff until a few thousand km are on the clock.. It could also be a carbon or copper build up so a good clean could be on the cards if not already taken care of. The increase would have been gradual and may still be continuing.
    Regards Grandpamac.
