[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 249852, member: 2736"] I have found that on custom barrels shoot and clean for about 10 to 12 rounds and the barrel will let you know that it's about ready for 3 shots and clean . Shoot 3 shot and clean two or three times and it should clean up easy. Chrome moly barrels take longer 30 + shots. Some barrels will never stop copper fouling unless they are hand lapped. With custom barrels I recommend using the barrel makers breakin procedure. With factory rifles the shoot and clean method works best. NOTE: A copper fouled barrel will not breakin properly because the copper shields the bore from the bullet and also pressure is higher and velocity is lower than in a clean barrel.
