[QUOTE="PNWdude67, post: 1772126, member: 110615"] Barrel break in regiments are “guidelines not code” . Fire forming usually at reduced charges can create a little more carbon so my suggestion is Clean well now with good bore solvent and patches (nylon brush won’t hurt either), shoot another 20 and clean it, finish fire forming and clean it... start load development after 5 shot to foul the barrel and enjoy!! We clean every 300 rounds or so til the barrel dies. IMO Don’t over do the break in cleaning process if you don’t have an issue with accuracy.... if the barrel is not performing well I have heard some can “bring it to life” with the Tubbs process but it is the exception. Cheers and happy holidays! [/QUOTE]
