[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1438312, member: 2736"] In My Opinion , NO JB is an abrasive and you should not need anything like it on a custom barrel. the barrel maker has his own proprietary lapping procedure to get the best results for his barrels. The process may vary a little, and require more or less shots to reach the point where fouling is as good as it gets, and the introduction of anything abrasive is not needed or wanted. The bullet does the best job of reaching this point and is the most consistent of all processes. If you break in a barrel correctly, you can tell/feel the barrel getting better by the resistance on the dry patch. When it is done properly, you can feel the change for the better as you go. normally barrels reach this point between 7 and 15 rounds depending on the makers lapping process. cleaning between each shot is the only way to truly know when the barrel is ready. Barrel Breakin is a slow and boring process, but the final outcome will depend on how well it is done, so don't rush it. Breakin also makes the load development process possible sooner and with less barrel wear(Shots) Accuracy occurs sooner also. Once a person does a proper breakin and pays attention, he will be able to see/tell the difference Himself. So my recommendation would be, never put anything through a custom barrel but a bullet.
