[QUOTE="FatBoy..., post: 51716, member: 349"] Varmint Hunter, I have always done this to used rifles I buy, becasue I don't know how the rifle was intially broken in. Most meat hunters I know, have never even heard of Breaking in the barrel, so I'll completely clean the rifle and ensure that all the copper is out of the bore, paying special attention to the throat area. Then I'll Break in like it's new. The way I look at is, the guys who shoot 6 or 7 rounds a year are not going to clean after each shot, so the copper is building up and getting re-covered each time. Now, they clean until the powder fouling is gone, but leave copper in there so when I aquire the rifle, it has many layers of copper and powder built up, and the original bore is nicely covered,, kinda preserved if ya will. I may be FOS, and just wasting my time, but it gets me to the range [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img] [B]4 minutes late.. sorry for the rehash...[/B] FatBoy...
