[QUOTE="Jcub, post: 1215087, member: 70391"] I break my barrels in by shooting them.... I just received my 6.5-284, I shot 3 times to get it on paper and confirm zero at 200. Shots 4,5 and 6 went into a .9" group at 200. I continued to my load development for 30 rounds, then cleaned it. I will foul it out with 3 more shots then confirm my next few groups of this test load. After that I won't clean my barrel until at least 200-250 rounds which in my experience is where my accuracy starts to drop. I don't buy into the shoot 1, clean it, for 10-15 rounds. YMMV. [/QUOTE]
