[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1712305, member: 75779"] One big consideration here is the difference between factory and aftermarket barrels. Factory stuff in large part needs 100-150 shots through it before it starts to shoot. Have seen it repeatedly with 700s, howas, weatherby, and even sako. Removing tooling marks/ polishing is why velocity starts to improve as well. Even on aftermarket barrels, velocity picks up to some extent. I'll clean more in the beginning until velocity stabilizes. Then only every 150-200 shots or when putting them away for awhile. This subject reminds me of golf, everybody has their own swing. [/QUOTE]
