So far "Good" not great

Bought three boxes of factory ammo to test and break in barrel. * 130 gr. Federal hollow pt varmint , 1 - 1+ moa *GGG 155 gr HPBT, 1-1+ moa *168 Gr. Federal premium all copper, 1 moa Nothing sub moa yet. I have some assorted bullets coming to hand load, hopefully can tighten up the groups. Also the trigger is great but to heavy for my liking "3-4 Lbs" Have a Timney trigger on the way.
