[QUOTE="Derek M., post: 229608, member: 2693"] Swali, this is such a coincidence. I just received my custom 308 on the 19th. I used 210 Berger VLDs as I like a long bullet during the initial break-in period. I used a mild-medium charge of IMR4064 and Lapua brass. I used some WW primers I had on hand. I shot and cleaned for about the first 15-16 rounds using the above referenced link that includes the use of Windex glass cleaner. I have an Obermeyer 5R stainless barrel. The last 5 shots happened to group 0.300. The bbl didn't have noticeable copper streaking after shot 10 or 11 or so but I still kept cleaning after each round anyway. When I brought the rifle home that evening it soaked all night with wipeout foam. I dried all of that out with patches, then used some warthog 1134, and there was only one mild hint of blue left. Heading back to the range in about an hour with some 150 Btips over Varget and IMR4064. [/QUOTE]
