[QUOTE="Grumulkin, post: 839167, member: 29281"] The purpose of barrel break in is to smooth out minor irregularities in the bore. It only needs to be done once. Whether or not a barrel needs t be fouled to shoot its best depends on the barrel; some need to be fouled and some don't. When I clean barrels to bare steel, I use Wipe Out and Wipe Out Accelerator to remove copper. I've left Wipe Out in barrels for days with never any indication of rust; I wouldn't do this with some other products. For a new barrel, I clean it before shooting and then every 10 to 20 shots for the first 100 rounds removing ALL copper. I then apply Microlon Gun Juice. Barrels I've treated with Microlon Gun Juice seem to foul much less easily than barrels that haven't been so treated and I believe it ******* barrel wear. For a quick clean to remove carbon/powder residue, I use Prolix. You could also use Microlon Gun Juice but it's more expensive. I never put or leave gun oil in a barrel. [/QUOTE]
