[QUOTE="Kimber7man, post: 1536969, member: 11938"] I’ve been blessed to be able to afford a couple of GA Precision rifles. When I asked George Gardner about barre break in, he said just shoot it and clean it at the end of the day the first 2-3 times. Then expect to see velocity increase by 75-150 fps after somewhere between 100-200 shots. Velocity will stay at that new speed until the throat starts to go, then you should check the distance to lands and readjust. After those changes, once the barrel starts to lose velocity again, it’s time to rebarrel. FWIW Both of mine were built with Bartlein barrels. [/QUOTE]
