[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1561392, member: 2736"] I use Boretech if I am going to leave it over night. But when doing break in, I use Butches Bore shine (The barrel maker recommends it because it is not as aggressive as some other Solvents and as long as you keep the barrel cool (Just warm to the touch) you will have no problems and brake in will go reasonable fast. With any barrel heat freezing will not be a problem. Normally I can do a proper break in in 3 or 4 hours in warmer temperatures. In colder weather it goes much faster. With this procedure I can normally tell/see the improvements within 5 to 7 shoot and clean cycles. on premium barrels they normally reach the point that you can start shooting 3 round groups after 10 shots. I totally agree with you about not using any abrasives on any barrel. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
