Watched some listened to some. Re barrel break in he reckons because copper is softer than steel copper cannot smooth the machining marks in the barrel. But copper at 3000 fps is going to behave quite differently to a piece siting on a work bench. Heck water can cut steel when it moves fast enough !
Hi all,
Sorry for the delay getting back on here. But I have had some success.
After that first time at the range and getting some pointers on what to look out for from the helpful lot here. First set was to give the bore a good clean. Second step I pulled my suppressor to bits and gave it a good clean. While doing this a small bit of crap/swarf dropped out from the thread, which I suspect was a stripped thread from the thread cap that was put on the gun after threading.
Anyway this ment the suppressor threaded on a lot better which thinking back to when I first put it on, it didn't feel that great when I tightened it up.
The next week I went back out to the range. Let off about 12 rounds, waiting 10 mins between rounds and ran a bore snake through a couple of times during this. Got the group down to 3 inches which was alot better, but still not totally satisfied. I also shot off a blanket on the ground which helped steady things and give the bipod a bit of cushion, rather than off the wooden table.
I decided to get in touch with Dan @ Mountain Precision as I figured it would probably save me in the long run going to see someone that could give me so pointers and let me know if I'm doing anything drastically wrong. He set me up for dial up and I had good success shooting steel out to 600m. Which i was stoked with.
Thanks to all for the help and guidance
if it is new then get in touch with Beretta. don't change anything other wise they will not accept warranty.
try Sako ammo too.
Well done JJ,Quality ammo=quality shots.Now deer time.
strange that the fed blue and fiochhi werent as good....or rather were bad.....perhaps 90% of issue wasnt ammunition at all..sounds like suppressor and/or shooter was biggest bit of puzzle.
pleased you got it sorted now...
