[QUOTE="Unionsparky46, post: 2921659, member: 125736"] I personally break in every rifle per manufacturer spec. Some say you don’t need to and I wouldn’t disagree. Just something I do. My routine is 1 shot clean for 5 rounds, 5 shots clean for 5 rounds and use copper cleaning solvent. I use cheap factory ammo as well. Then, go about your normal cleaning routine. I usually clean every winter after rifle season or if shooting a lot in spring/ summer every 50-100 rounds. I absolutely think the 06 is one of the most universal cartridges out there! (Next to the 300 win mag) I own 2 just as backups but it’s a great all around cartridge none the less. Have fun with it, shoot it a lot and then think about upgrading. You’ll be surprised how accurate the old 06 can get. Others on here can elaborate way better on handloads for it as I have just found one that works. Enjoy! [/QUOTE]
