[QUOTE="cowboy, post: 899564, member: 8833"] On a barrel that I do not know it's past history, I have at times had luck with treating it just like a new barrel - do a complete break in procedure. If you have access to a smith you might have him bore scope it and get his opinion - but then I have taken a used rifle to 2 different smiths and got 2 different opinions also. What bullets are you shooting out of that 7 WSM? There are many better rifle barrel products out there that are more effective than Hoppee's. The only thing I keep Hoppee's around for is the smell and maybe wipe off finger prints on a rifle/shotgun. [/QUOTE]
