[QUOTE="woodnut, post: 1562418, member: 17593"] I WAS an anal guy about cleaning. Have a huge supply of patches and brushes and Dewey rods. I had my gunsmith barrel up a 6 Creedmoor and asked him how he would suggest breaking it in. He said, " shoot 5 and pull once for five sessions". I said what do you mean "pull once"? He said to use a bore snake and oil and after 5 rounds, spray the bore and pull the snake through. Knowing he shoots a lot and is an accuracy guy, I did it. WOW ! Was I surprised! I shoot suppressed,too but my accuracy is sub 1/2 MOA doing this. I also follow his advise and don't clean so often either, maybe after 100 rounds. On rare occasions, we do patch clean it, when accuracy has fallen off. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I am amazed. He also related why he does this is that his barrel maker advised him to do it. For those of us who have shot benchrest, or know about it; you may recall what they do. Clean the bore til it's spotless...and then shoot fouling shots to get the barrel ready for shooting groups! Duh? How often have you shot the 1st shot and it it does not go with the rest? Wasn't fouled, right? He uses Rem spray oil, I use Ballistol. I'm a happy, happy shooter! :) [/QUOTE]
