[QUOTE="Danny Butler, post: 1712494, member: 107748"] I’ve been around a little while and have heard about a thousand ways to break in a bbl. First.. you have to break in a bbl if you want it to reach its full potential....break in is simple but tedious.... clean the bbl with Shooters Choice solvent first.. not Hoppes , it’s crap. Fire the rifle and clean said rifle/bbl after each firing for 20 rds. Check for copper fouling with Barnes CR 10 after 5,10,15 and the final 20th rd. If the patch color (blue) is lighter after every five rds you are doing your job. After this don’t fire the rifle over 20 to 25 rds without cleaning it. If the rifle is not preforming to your expectations check it for copper periodically. There really shouldn’t be any reason to introduce the CR10 in the bbl ever again. This break in procedure works very well especially on 5 R bbls and was recommended to me by a barrel manufacturer.... Good Luck [/QUOTE]
