[QUOTE="barnesuser28, post: 790605, member: 43468"] I will be getting my first gun with an aftermarket barrel back on Tuesday and I am going to do a very thorough break in, 55 shots using a mild load as to not put a ton of stress on the action and gun right off the bat, I will shoot 1 and clean for 10 rounds, 5 shots and clean for 15 rounds, then shoot 15 rounds and clean for 30 rounds. Then I will start doing load work up to find max pressure. I have 15 different charge weights, 3 of each, and I will shoot round robin until I hit pressure, then shoot the remaining 2 rounds of the safe charges and check for consistency in POI and accuracy. Not cleaning at all over the <45 rounds ( I have an extra 4 fouling rounds of the same mild load used for break-in to shoot before I shoot the first shot of the adjusted charge weights as to not skew the results). Also, my loaded rounds are running <.001 run out CONSISTENTLY!!!! I can't wait!! But I will have to because we will be in Sioux Falls SD next weekend and won't have a chance to shoot it. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
