[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 310133, member: 11717"] Hi Shayne, Welcome to LRH. Breaking in a barrel is essentially a process of smoothing out the roughness in your bore. It's basically lapping your bore by firing through it. The idea is to eliminate the roughness and irregularities and eliminate copper fouling. To do this correctly you must clean the copper from your bore after each shot until your copper fouling stops or almost stops. You need a good copper remover. I use Bore Tech Eliminator. If you use Bore Tech, you need to use a nickle plated or plastic jag with it because Bore Tech will eat away a brass jag and give a false blue copper reading. I use Bore Tech at the range between shots and I use Wipeout at home when I can soak it. Breaking in your barrel may or may not affect your accuracy. It will almost certianly improve your rifle's consistancy and it will make cleaning your rifle a whole lot easier and reduce the frequency of cleanings. Hope this helps, -MR [/QUOTE]
