[QUOTE="cajun, post: 2924488, member: 9772"] Barrel break in is kind of a misnomer. Your breaking in the throat. Even on a lapped custom rifle the throat will have some machining marks since it’s not lapped. I let the rifle tell me what to do. I shoot and clean for a few rounds. Usually it settles in and the copper fouling stops quick. In some bad factory barrels the tool marks in the barrel are so bad it will always show copper fouling so trying to remove every last bit of it can be a losing effort and a waste of time. If it shoots good don’t sweat it. [/QUOTE]
