[QUOTE="Moman, post: 332313, member: 10494"] I started breaking in new factory barrels years ago and completely believe that it has helped. They are rougher and seem to smoothe out better when this is done. I just bought a Broughton that will be installed soon and I'm thinking that I will play it by ear and see what the barrel tells me, but I doubt it will require near the same break in period as the others. I've been getting away from using brushes for the most part. I've had great luck with wipe out followed by some hoppes to get the crud out. I've noticed that when I brush, it takes a long time to get them to settle down again. Even just using hoppes a few days gets them real clean. Typically I soak and jag to get most of the loose carbon out, then soak them muzzle down on a clean white sock several times followed by a jag and fresh patch. This works real well but does take longer. [/QUOTE]
