That is impressive.
Nicely done.
What's the caliber on that?
I finally got a chance to get to the range. It was very therapeutic!!! I practiced the cleaning often between about every three shots to keep barrel cool and help with break in. I did notice a bit a chattering at the end of the barrel at the crown, that concerned me a bit. my best group of the day was very impressive though. I was using Remington brass, CCI BR2 primers, IMR4895 powder, and Sierra Matchkings 168 grain. It was a load that I used in a Remington 700 that averaged about 2649fps.

'Scuse me while I whip this out...!
.308.
Good shooting. How many grains of powder?
43.8 grains of IMR4895
Very close to my 43.5.

I can't help but wonder if increasing muzzle velocity would tighten up the groups. Non the less, I will probably dedicate some time to some serious load development. I probably won't worry about that till I think the barrel is broke in.
It won't. It will just reduce the amount of drop at distance. Pushing them too fast can sometimes even hurt groups. Here's a recent group from my 338LM during my break in process. Only rounds 12-14 down the barrel and only 2625fps:

Learning something new, experiencing something new and sharing the journey are reason enough to get out of bed each day!
