[QUOTE="MudRunner2005, post: 1313345, member: 12995"] That's how I break all mine in. I scrub it out to the white (when it's brand new), then coat the bore with Kroil or RemOil and let it dry, then run one last RemOil patch down it before I hit the range (don't patch it dry). And then get to work shooting 5 shot groups (non-magnum) or 3-shot groups (magnums), and let it cool completely in-between groups. Then once they start to settle around 30-50 rounds in, I consider it broken-in. Then I take it home and scrub it down to the white again. Then get to load development, and I only clean it when accuracy falls off, and the groups start opening up. Over-cleaning a rifle can also cause premature bore, throat, and rifling wear. Yup... Same here. Most of the time, what I consider my "break-in" process is simply 50 rounds of brass that have been prepped with very mild loads for fire-forming cases, shot in 5-shot strings, then let it cool. :D [/QUOTE]
