to zero i set the rifle on the bipod with a rear bag...put a target out at 100yds with a bright colored 2" square on white paper remove the bolt look through the barrel and get it on the bright square then look through the scope and adjust until the cross is on the square...that will get me on paper and then i adjust from there to get close and then start load development...i dont make any other scope adjustments until i find a load then zero at 100yds and shoot out to distance.
i dont believe in the barrel break in...i shoot 1 round and clean for 3 rounds then shoot a 10 shot group let the barrel cool in an upright position then clean and im done...but im only looking to see how the barrel fouls.
