Just got a 7 prc prefit for my tikka. Put it all together, loaded up 150 rounds of 195 bergers and started shooting.
Starting average velo was 2555. After 67 rounds I picked up velo at an average of 2593.
Little insight,
All shot strings have not exceeded 5 rounds with about 45 sec to 1 min between shots.
I have cleaned after every 15 to 20 rounds
Environmental have not changed extremely (elevation, temp, humidity ect)
All components are of the same lot numbers and loaded at same time.
Has anyone had their barrel speed up with such a low round count? Typically all of my other barrels have been around 110-130 rounds before they picked up speed.
