[QUOTE="windypants, post: 2778795, member: 121068"] I did the one and clean break-in routine until it quit laying copper. After doing more research, on my next barrel I’m going to try just shooting normal with no break-in. I have a new 25 Creed coming in the near future to try that on. Right now I’m using Boretech Eliminator and bronze brushes and am very pleased with the results. I wipe the easy stuff out with several wet patches, then 20 slow strokes with the brush and patch it out. Then wet brush for a couple strokes and let it soak. More strokes then patch it out. I repeat as needed, sometimes overnight if I don’t need my rifle sooner. Also, I rotate a .40 cal. bronze brush in the throat to get the beginnings of the carbon ring out. The eliminator is supposed to be safe to let it soak, and it gets the copper without using any ammonia based solvent. The brushes have to be changed often though. I monitor this process with my Teslong borescope. I asked Alex if he would tell me when I was getting it clean enough by posting pictures from the borescope. He said I was getting it way too clean by cleaning to bare metal. I think I really abused that barrel with Iosso paste, just out of ignorance. I am getting some hard carbon build up, so at some point I may need to use Iosso. Alex said he does that maybe once in a barrels life. I just load 25 rounds at a time for this rifle and clean when I shoot them up. It’s pretty quick and easy to clean this way, and it only needs one fouler to be accurate. And my cartridges are always pretty fresh. [/QUOTE]
