Hello Everyone- Question. After cleaning your barrel with a copper remover, how many shots does it take before your gun gets back to settling in and grouping well? My new Tikka seems to settle back in after 4 shots and I have a friend who shoots long range (targets) and he said his gun starts to group well after about 10 shots.
Curious what others find when starting off with a clean barrel. I shot my gun earlier this week with a completely clean barrel, first 3 shots spread out over 1.75" and then next 3 were within one inch. This is the 4th time I've had it out and I've probably shot 25 rounds through it total. I left the barrel dirty and don't plan on touching it until hunting season.
