[QUOTE="notajeep, post: 839136, member: 40148"] In March I ordered a match barrel, still don't have it. So I've been reading a whole lot about this barrel break in thing. Pretty much unless your shooting with a 50X scope at 1000 yard targets don't do anything out of the ordinary. Clean it first before you shoot it. Here's a great example I read earlier somewhere. .300 win mag barrel life (SHORT). So if you spend 500 rounds of breaking in the barrel and hunting for the perfect load data. What you have just done is wasted a large percentage of that barrels life. Again just something I read on the internet, but sounded logical to me. As for all this coper solvent, with my .308 If I clean 100% of the copper out of the barrel my groups open up for the first half dozen shots. Go figure! I pretty much don't do copper solvent unless I'm putting something in long term storage or maybe if I was going to sell it. I've also read some barrel mfg's don't want it sitting for any length of time in their quality barrels. Good Luck [/QUOTE]
