[QUOTE="jdyoung, post: 1933294, member: 113391"] Well...that just means you will work a while to get the copper out and then if you want , you can follow that break in procedure. Probably best to though. It's not in the manual, my Granddaughter has an Axis (I think that's what you meant by Apex) and I went through the manual to see if they related a break-in procedure ( they don't but it's on their web site where I copied it). Ever since there were articles in magazines about breakin' in a barrel, the Manufactures have referred to the procedure when a customer has a question such as yours. Like I wrote, it'll take a while to burnish the lands and grooves but the cleaning intervals should lengthen 'cause it'll stay reasonably cleaner longer. I haven't checked lately, but Savage used to have Douglas provide the barrels for their rifles. Good quality barrels. Don't know if that is what is on yours. My Granddaughter's Axis is a 243 . She practiced shooting and her Dad cleaned it. Used about 40 rounds to get comfortable. Killed her first ever whitetail, a 3 yr doe, at 110 yds. 1 shot. Folded it right up. Venison for the table, and she was a celebrity with her gal pals. With that, she graduated to doing her own gun cleaning. Enjoy ! [/QUOTE]
