[QUOTE="azsugarbear, post: 855775, member: 4809"] This topic is an interesting one and I am aware of at least two schools of thought on the subject. The bench rest crowd typically follow rigid procedures and are meticulous when cleaning their barrels. They generally remove all carbon and copper from their barrels when finished shooting. This discipline is largely responsible for current barrel break-in procedures recommended by most custom manufacturers. Other shooters feel that you get better consistency in your velocity curve when you allow your barrel to build up enough copper and carbon to hit an "equilibrium". Here is a link to a video explaining the process: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lV9QvEm1nFc]SNIPER 101 Part 44 - Cleaning Your Extreme Range Rifle - YouTube[/ame] The Sniper 101 videos are a thought-provoking series. I recommend it highly. I used to clean my barrels meticulously. But I also like to experiment, so I am trying the copper/carbon build-up method just to make my own determination. [/QUOTE]
