[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 239339, member: 11717"] You're probably going to get a lot of opinions on this, but here is my limited experience. I recently broke in a new Sako Finnlight 300 WSM. I cleaned after every shot until evidence of copper fouling was gone. After the 13th shot I saw no more copper fouling. Then I started cleaning after each set of 3 while trying to find a good load. Still only a slight trace of copper. Then I went to 18 rounds and got a medium blue patch after a long soak with Wipeout. The next patch after another soaking was clear. Unfortunately the rifle isn't shooting well and will be replaced, but the break in did seem to significantly cut back the copper fouling to almost nil. Some will recommend using a bore guide while cleaning and breaking in. My $.02 [/QUOTE]
