HI guys, I have not been in the ruger forum in awhile. To answer your questions. I have broke in the barrel. I probably shot 200 rounds through it. The first 15 rounds, I cleaned after every shot with JB's and Kroil. The factory 32 grain Hornady shoot good as well as my handloads with 32 grainers and Varget. Something I thought was strange, the point of impact was about the same at 100 yards. According to load books the varget load is about 250-300FPS slower than the factory 32 grain Hornady?
