[QUOTE="winmagman, post: 64457, member: 1193"] kwanjangnihm Mike Rock told me the same thing when I was there working on my .243. He also provided me with a sample kit of the Smooth Coat and BP 2000 that I just finished using to break the gun in. I followed the the instruction that came with the kit and I have to say it was a whole lot easier than the shoot 1 clean method that I used on my previous guns. I don't think the barrel broke in using fewer rounds, I was just able to get those rounds down the tube in much less time with much less work. Two weeks ago I ran 21 shots through the barrel while doing some pressure testing, then yesterday tried out some loads for groups. Using RE 22 with 105gr Amaxes I managed .495 with 44.2 grs. .399 with 44.4, grs and .514 with 44.6 grs. I shot some other grops at lower charges but they weren't as nice. Point I'm trying to make is with only 50 rounds down the barrel and groups like those I'd have to say the Sentry solutions products sure didn't hurt anything and definitly made the break in job easier.
