[QUOTE="RockyMtnMT, post: 2194116, member: 7999"] We have been cleaning before shooting then shooting a few and cleaning to see if there is any copper fouling. If fouling is present then staying with several shots then clean until fouling ends. With our bullets we rarely see copper fouling so we have pretty much abandoned any formal procedure. I will try and monitor vel farther in the load count to see if I can see any further gain in vel. Seems to be a consensus that the barrel will continue to gain speed until finished. I have always felt like I am cleaning life out of a barrel when following a full break in procedure. Particularly if there us no copper fouling present. [/QUOTE]
