Both processes render the steel too hard for any break in to have an affect.That's what I wondered, which is why I asked the question in the first place. How did no one else know this? I asked my question in November. I should have just googled it. The web's full of similar statements to yours.
In any case, thanks for replying TexHill. Confirmed my suspicion (voiced in post #1). I don't consider these 15 rounds wasted though. Had fun sighting in the scopes and hitting steel at 100 yards after that. I'll shoot for groups next time.
