[QUOTE="7mmRHB, post: 84844, member: 3584"] If you are using 1.75 or 2.25" square patches six to nine drops will make the patch damp enough to easily slide back and forth through the bore. It looks like your gun has a good smooth bore and won't copper foul. LUCKY YOU! You might see blue after shooting A high number of shots but it will clean very quickly with that slick bore of yours.We broke in a 25-06 Ackley IMP. last week . It has a Pacnor barrel ,28" Shot# 1 four patches, medium blue. Shot # 2 three patches light blue. Shot# three two patches and just A hint of blue. Shots # four and five took two patches each and no blue. Then we shot two shots and it still took two patches with no blue. Then three shots and no blue. Breakin complete. We then shot ten fire forming loads. still two patches and no copper. Next we shot 25 rounds and it took two coppermelt patches to be spotless. GOOD barrel .great cleaner =happy shooters. I always put some light oil in the bore after, if its going to be A few days before I shoot again. good shooting, 7mm RHB ( Put the # of drops on that works for you!) [/QUOTE]
