[QUOTE="ken snyder, post: 617567, member: 26019"] Is my barrel broke in? put a small o-ring in a jag groove that sticks up just a little higher than the jag and push the cleaning patch down the bore. does it go down the bore smoothly. Target shooters don't seem to mind shooting up to 25 rounds through a barrel to properly foul it. How would a Target shooter know if the barrel is broke in or not, when their custom is to shoot through a barrel that has been caked with fouling. I can not imagine the fun or the economy of needing to shoot almost half a box of rounds through a large cartridge for it to cake up enough to shoot properly. If it is taking more than 3 rounds to foul I would consider a couple more clean bore burnishing shots. - no elaborate cleaning schemes the barrel will tell you! I honestly feel that these elaborate break in schemes were recommended just to make a person feel that their barrel was so superior that it requires majestic elaborateness [/QUOTE]
