[QUOTE="Andrew Cowling, post: 1712755, member: 109547"] Spot on. I have always used and recommended the shot and clean method for running in. My boxes hold 50 rounds so that is how many I use. 10 x 1 shot groups removing all copper between groups. Then 5 x 3 shots groups removing all copper between groups. Then 5 x 5 shots groups removing all copper between each group. All of my barrels are hand lapped match barrels. When I go out for a shot the clean cold barrel hits exactly the same point of aim as it did when I cleaned and put it away while holding that same point of aim even when hot and dirty. Accuracy of my barrels remains for a much longer time period. Even then I clean after 50 shots maximum to maintain that accuracy and very little copper comes out if any at all. It is so nice nowing that I have a prestine clean barrel that will stay clean for long shooting periods and be dead on every time even from straight out of storage. [/QUOTE]
