[QUOTE="JustC, post: 56123, member: 817"] clean between each round for at least the first 20rnds. You SHOULD see fouling getting less and less at this point,..then go to cleaning every 3 rounds for ~20-30rnds. At this point,..you SHOULD be most of the way broken in. Now use a tight patch with some rem bore cleaner or Flitz and give it about 25 strokes in each direction. Completely clean the bore and treat it to some kroil for a few days. Dry patch and go shoot 20rnds,..then see what fouling is in the barrel,..it SHOULD be minimal if even visable. You will get as many different methods as you get replies,..so take them for what they are worth. The important thing is cleaning very often for the first few boxes to smooth out the tooling marks.
