We broke the barrel in cleaning after every round for the first 25. Then fired three 5 shot groups. Every group would produce 2 or three fliers. A week later we shot another six 5 shot groups with similar results. Groups averaged an inch and a quarter to an inch and a half with the fliers.
My primary question is how much freebore should there be. Using an OAL gage and a dummy round fire formed, i'm getting a measurement of 1.900" from the case head to the ogive with the bullet at the lands. To seat the 35gr Bergers to the lands would give me a seated bullet depth of .030" at the most.
