[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 239422, member: 2736"] NZP All barrels breakin at different amounts of shooting because of the condition of the barrel and the loads fired in them. A good custom stainless barrel will normaly breakin somewhere between 15 and 20 rounds if cleaned each time they are fired. The custom crome moly barrels take a little longer 5 or 10 more than the stainless because they are not normaly laped. Factory barrels may take up to 60 or 70 rounds to break in and some never stop fouling. The reason I like cleaning every round to break a barrel in is, you can feel and see when its broke in by the way the patch feels and looks when passed through the bore. I have heard of some barrels breaking in with only 3 or 4 rounds but I have never been lucky enough to get on of these. the best I have seen was 12 rounds. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
