[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 738300, member: 11717"] I never really looked at break in as a way to improve accuracy and have heard or read of few cases where it did and have never seen any difference with my barrels. So all though possible I don't think readers should expect much different in accuracy. It's a possibility and apparently JE has seen improved accuracy, but I see break in as primarily a bore conditioning procedure to make cleaning easier and less frequently required. As far as which products are best, there's a simple way to test that if you don't have a bore scope. If you think you have removed all the copper with a product, then follow up with another product, such as Bore Tech. The best copper removing products I have used have been Wipe Out Foam, Gun Slick Foam and Bore Tech. I would rate Gun Slick Foam slightly less than Wipe Out and Bore Tech. Bore Tech is a little more labor intensive than Wipe Out but much quicker, I have tested Bore Tech against numerous other products including, Montana Xtreme, KG 12 and Butches Bore Shine. In my experiences, Bore Tech always removed more copper after those products were showing white patches. Bore Tech and Wipe Out are also safe. They will not damage your bore with long soakings. Here's a good thread on the topic... [URL]http://www.longrangehunting.com/forums/f37/bore-solvent-70001/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
