[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1588731, member: 2736"] Actually the break in process removes any irregularities in the bore surface using the bullet. the copper fouling is removed each time it is fired to make the bore surface more uniform, the copper fouling will ****** this process buy protecting these irregularities unless removed building up around or near the imperfections. A quality hand lapped barrel will take far less shoot and clean steps because most of these imperfections have been removed by the lapping. Unless the temperature is allowed rise to a very hot temperature there will be no migrating in to the metallurgy of the barrel and the copper fouling will be a surface problem only. The filling of imperfections that can't be removed by brake-in are called seasoning and this is done by allowing some of the copper fouling to remain to fill these voids. this works on barrels that have less than an ideal internal finish.
