[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1384439, member: 2736"] I would do as the barrel maker says but once the barrel shows little signs of fouling you could start load development with reduced loads to find out what powder, bullet and primer combination it likes. I would still clean after each 5 shot test group also allow the barrel some time to stay cool. This would not void your warranty but could give you a head start on load development. During this process I would use a chronograph to look at SDs only to verify the powder, bullet primer combinations compatibility with your rifle and by the time you get to 50 shots the barrel will be broke in and the load will be well on its way. If you have good SDs, I would start experimenting with bullet seating depth for the best accuracy. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
