Breaking in AR-30
« on: March 16, 2008, 01:44:00 PM »
I am in the process of breaking in an AR-30 according to Armalite break in procedure.  While it is too early to get a true reading on it's accuracy potential (have not worked up loads) it is truly a pleasure to shoot.  I am astonished at the muzzle brakes ability to reduce the felt recoil from a .338 Lapua Magnum to that of a .243.
If it lives up to accuracy claims it will be a real pleasure to shoot in matches.

I am almost finished breaking in the AR30 .338.  My last break in session showed some real promise.  I had a few groups at 300yds. that were under 2".  I will start to look for the best load combo and see what it likes.  So far I am very impressed with the rifle.  The shock wave from the muzzle break leaves an impression on those too close or without their ears on.
