Well i ordered a tikka t3 lite stainless 7mm-08 today. now i am trying to decide on how i am going to break the barrel in. I want to load some cheap bullets like the hornady 139gr sp. i am just wanting to break the barrel in so i am not worried about load development right now so they dont have to be super accurate but i would like to get decent groups. Should i load these bullets at the low end, middle or somewhere between the two. i know i dont want a hot load for breaking the barrel in. I was also curios on what people are using for their "pet" loads. would like to shoot the either the 139gr sst, 140gr nosler bt, or the 140gr remington accutip. I am also hoping that people are getting good results with varget because i really dont want to have to go buy more powder when i already have a ton of varget. i also have imr 3031 if anybody is getting good results with that.
