    I took the rifle out for a break-in today. Nice and slow, shoot clean shoot. I only got eight shots in because I'm a Volly firefighter and the siren went up.

    It's bloody loud to shoot. Louder than I expected. The kick is ok but after eight shots I was getting tired of it. No biggie just something to get used to. The ejected brass was quite cool. That surprised me too. Why isn't it hot?

    I was shooting 150g partisan cheep stuff for break-in.
