[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 34546, member: 25"] Varmint is right about there being lots of different methods employed for breaking-in a barrel. I am switching to one suggested by Garry Schnieder - shoot singles till the barrel seems to be responding and is cleaning up quicker. That might be after a dozen shots or less with some custom barrels and might never happen with a particularly rough factory tubes. In the case of a rough barrel, after 20-25 shots I would simply make the statement - "You are now broken in, you SOB!" and shoot the hell out of it. Check Dan Lilja's site to see a great video of the inside of a barrel - it came out of a long green box. There is also an article in this issue of the NRA American Hunter on barrel break-in - for what it is worth. [/QUOTE]
