How does it group?

Good Question - I have no idea. This is a budget build for young niece. It is brand new, and I am waiting on scope rail to show up. I have seen enough posts on barrel performance that I thought I would be proactive. I was just about to order some J-B paste to lap barrel during break-in when I remembered a conversation with fellow shooter who used the Tubb's bullets. I took a look at Tubb's website and their recommendation is to break-in new barrel with their bullets, which I assume in part is to avoid any copper fouling that will interfere with lapping compound on bullet making direct contact with the steel of the barrel.

With our ammo/reloading supply shortage, I hate idea of waste 100-200 bullets just to get gun broken-in like I read about in some of the posts.
