[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1449617, member: 2736"] Up until recently, it was the ability to clean easy and the feel of the bore when cleaning Now I can add the fact that there is a velocity increase (Based on the test during brake in) ashttps://[URL='http://www.longrangehunting.com/threads/new-barrel-break-in-and-cleaning-methods.160450/page-2']www.longrangehunting.com/threads/new-barrel-break-in-and-cleaning-methods.160450/page-2[/URL] (post #20) you clean and about the time it feels broke in the velocity levels out and becomes stable. There is no magic number of shots or exact science because every barrel is different, so it is just a matter of how well/quick it cleans up and the velocity stabilizes. A bore scope helps to see the difference from the un-fired barrel. I use the Butches bore shine for brake in because it cleans/dissolves fouling relatively fast during brake in. once it is broken in, i switch to Bore tech eliminator for normal cleaning. some solvents have/are oil based and can mask the feel of dry patch, so i use the Butches . I have broken in hundreds of barrels and know the feel but with the velocity test, I now have another parameter to look at. Hope this helps J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
