[QUOTE="sw282, post: 1691848, member: 93980"] About 20 yrs ago l worked for Kenny Jarrett @ Jarrett Rifles in Jackson, SC.. One of the more unpleasant duties was barrel break-in. His procedure was to shoot one, then clean for the first 10rds. Second 10rds was shoot two, then clean... His favourite solvents were Sweets and Kroil. We had a couple shop rifles used for fire form a couple of calibers not available... l don't remember those ever getting cleaned... During break-in the rifles had no sights mounted or any final finish applied. We just shot from the shoulder ''shotgun'' style... lts amazing how easy it is to shoot accurately from the standing position with just a bit of practice.. On that range @ 300yards is a 12'' metal swinger of Armor Plate an inch thick... We could hit that 12'' gong from a standing position most of the time shooting shotgun style... [/QUOTE]
