[QUOTE="keithcandler, post: 1771467, member: 3728"] I have broken in a lot of barrels on benchrest rifles. Copper fouling will be the worst within the first 5 rounds and diminish from there out on a good high quality barrel. By the 10th shot, your throat should be lapped smooth where the reamer cut the throat. If the bore is rough, it may take quite a few rounds to "break in" if it ever does. Great copper solvent like Montana Extreme copper killer should be used or Sweet's 7.62, and best applied on a wool mop to get the most in the bore. Carbon is going to be your headache in the 28 Nosler, use good brushes. On my high quality hunting rifle barrels that are button rifled, I clean after 15-20 shots. Cut rifle barrels are often not as smooth, so I will clean after 3, 6,9 shots watching for blue on my patches after a soaking with the ME Copper Killer. Best of luck [/QUOTE]
