[QUOTE="davewilson, post: 84950, member: 4491"] i just saw this post and was wondering what # of patches it should take to get a barrel broke in.it took most of the afternoon and evening and so far i have 8 rounds out of my new barrel.my patches are all used up,i have to find more.i have a 7um with one of these lilja 7 twist barrels.i seem to be getting a large amount of fouling.the first shot took around 20 patches to come out clean.it's getting better but i still use 4-5 and let it sit a while to get a clean patch.i'm using wipe-out and sweet's.the first 6 i shot 140 BT's,good to waste for break in, and thought maybe their speed was causing some of this so i switched to 180 bergers.wasn't sure if their jacket would take this twist but i have holes in the box so i guess they will.my question is how many shots should it take to break in.i know every barrel is different but what's the norm?
