[QUOTE="ChrisInKY, post: 2745420, member: 94377"] I think the answer is: "It depends. And, it's certainly not going to hurt anything." Thank you for adding that your barrels are hand polished. Polished being the operative element of the description. Also, that was an impressive display of shooting. Anyone and everyone could learn something from it. Thank you for the question and the video!! I, for one, do not ascribe to the regimen most often associated with "break-in". I'm not going to rigorously clean after X shot of X numbers of shots. I'm going to do much like BFD 2.0 says, "and look down the bore to see what the copper is telling me". Then, I'm going to do what you do, "and let the barrel [B][I]settle in[/I][/B] over as many rounds as are necessary". For my precision rifle, that's about 15-20 rounds. Every barrel is gonna show you something different. The more work that goes into it up-front (which translates to a higher consumer cost) decreases time consuming (and sometimes frustrating) back-end work. [/QUOTE]
