[QUOTE="Wile E Coyote, post: 1094708, member: 28381"] Custom barrels get a couple wet patches followed by a few dry patches. Then a couple rounds to sight in. Break-in is done when the scope is zero at 200. Factory barrels get fire-lapped. Have done this to 4 Remington tubes now. Thanks to Remington's slow twist rates, 2 shoot lighter pills to 3/4 to 1/2 MOA. The third, a .223 shoots tighter groups yet. But the 4th barrel saw no change. It has been replaced with a custom barrel. In all fairness, there were other issues with this gun that prompted not just a barrel but other work too. Pete [/QUOTE]
