[QUOTE="Tailgunner, post: 77284, member: 606"] First thing is to clean out anything the factory left in the barrel/chamber/locking lugs, than dry the chamber and lube the locking lugs. Fire a round and inspect for traces of copper in the barrel, clean (if present) until the copper is gone or fire another round and inspect again until you can fire 10 rounds without seeing copper traces (my version of break-in relies on visual inspection not a set procedure, others use different methiods). Early in the break-in you will be getting your scope zeroed and later shooting some groups. Depending on how the group testing goes, will determine what areas you need to look at first. [/QUOTE]
