[QUOTE="dougduey, post: 1863156, member: 33159"] Do you have a chronograph?? If so, and you’re breaking the barrel in with factory ammo or a bunch of the same starting load, it can be real helpful in letting you know when the barrel is broken in. My method is the same for all my rifles (one is a Christensen). Shoot, clean, rinse and repeat. I look for the velocity to stabilize and see how quickly the barrel comes clean after each shot. All barrels are different, but it hasn’t taken over 20 rounds to be done. Your barrel will be fully broken in somewhere between 50-100 rounds. Expect velocity to increase when this happens. [/QUOTE]
