[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 1450545, member: 7999"] We always used to do the shoot and clean method watching for the copper fouling to diminish. That was always the indicator that the barrel had "smoothed" up. Without that indicator we just did not know when we were done. Finally we just got to the point that we would just shoot and clean once to make sure there was not a problem and then go on with load development. Then clean when done. With load development we are always increasing charge so can't really see the barrel changing. Good loads have not been anymore difficult to get to than a seasoned barrel. Although we do have a rifle that is a factory Rem that after about 50 shots seems to be hitting a bit high at distance. Need to check and see if it sped up. Steve [/QUOTE]
