[QUOTE="gohring3006, post: 1450593, member: 78762"] I do the shoot one clean method that’s basically one of the standard procedures. Like was mentioned, it gives me a chance to start the fireform process, and gives me a idea if the rifle is going to shoot. I hex coat every rifle I get, so I like to get the barrel burr free and as clean as I can, then I start the barrel “seasoning” with hex. I then won’t clean the copper for several hundred rounds just carbon. I’m currently testing a 300 Win mag savage. I’m only going to clean the carbon and leave the hex coating and copper in it for it’s entire life, or at least until it just won’t shoot anymore. For some of the non believers out there, you can see the patches come out cleaner as you go thru the process. I know it’s helpful, because before I went to hex coating, I would have barrels with several hundred rounds, clean much easier and faster than barrels that I haven’t broken in with just 30 or 40 rounds thru them.
