[QUOTE="sj-pratt, post: 778127, member: 6953"] I feel break in is important part of your new barrels, but not every barrel is the same. I have seen some barrels from one manufacturer broke in after 5 shots and the very next barrel from the same manufacturer take 25 and still be fouling more than I like. The break in procedures written by the others an this thread seems to be close to what we do with our rifles. Shoot one and clean and remove all copper and then a patch of kroil. We do this untill its not leaving copper then we will shoot 2 or 3 depending on how the barrel is cleaning. If the barrel is taking 30 minutes and a bag of patches to clean you wouldn't start shooting more rounds. Once the barrel is broken in I run a wet kroil patch then a dry patch and the gun is ready to go to work, the fouling rounds lay down a carbon trail and you would not oil between shots. My hunting rifles are cleaned check for zero and left fouled until after the hunting season so I'm not shooting a clean bore I think it makes them a little more predictable. [/QUOTE]
