[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 894269, member: 2736"] [b]Re: Suggestions on how to break in my barrel?[/b] One of the worst things you can do is clean a barrel from the muzzle. The cleaning rod wears the crown and hurts accuracy. some cleaning rods come with a rod guide for cleaning rifles that have to be cleaned from the muzzle. A bore guide does the same thing for the throat, lead, and neck of the chamber. cleaning without something to keep the cleaning rod from rubbing on this part of the chamber can also reduce barrel life especially in the throat and lands. Bore guides should be used every time the rifle is cleaned. For the field, where it is impractical to carry a cleaning rod I recommend the use of a bore snake or something with a rope pull through. It is never to late to start using a bore guide to save your barrel any more wear. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
