[QUOTE="XxaquadogxX, post: 2272742, member: 119615"] I have read several articles about proper break in procedure, and saw a very good interview with the owner of Krieghoff barrels. Finally a friend of mine who is a gunsmith showed me his procedure and it works the best of any that I have tried. I run a patch with Flitz metal polish through the full length of the barrel, and throat area. I then run another patch through the throat paying attention to how smoothly the patch glides over the transition area where the lands start. Then I clean it. Shoot it and always use JB, and about every third shooting session I finish my cleaning with JB Bore Bright. It has consistently shrunk my grouping as well as significantly reduced the time to clean. I finish up by running a patch with a couple of drops of Militech oil followed by a dry patch or two. The amount of metal removed is negligible, and I believe that the reduced drag on the bore actually increases barrel life. This has been my experience. [/QUOTE]
