[QUOTE="canderson, post: 320453, member: 10891"] Your understanding of the procedure is correct. Just make sure that you get ALL of the copper out between shots. If you don't, you will be wasting time and barrel life. The theory behind breaking in is bullets traveling down the bore will lap or smooth out some of the very small marks (scratches) made during the rifling process. I always use a reactive copper solvent such as sweet's or boretech eliminatior. When you get close to getting all of the copper out, watch for a false positive from your brass jag. The only way I can tell this is the inside of the patch will have more blue on it than the outside. [/QUOTE]
