[QUOTE="zr600, post: 2659505, member: 104269"] I was told for my muller works carbon wrapped barrel to just shoot it, clean it, shoot it clean it. Then once find a load shoot it till accuracy falls off. I basically loaded up 10 shoots for my first range trip, went to 25 yards got the scope close, went to a 100 yards got it within an moa of the bullseye. Then attached the megneto speed and run a Satterlee method ladder test. Got home cleaned it. In this method I found a load that shoots less then 1/4 moa. Only have 40 rounds down barrel now and have cleaned it 3 times I think. This is on a 22-243ai so I will clean carbon out every 30-50 rounds. I let my old barrel in the caliper go till accuracy fell off and it was a pain in the rear end to get clean. My last few barrels I did some sort of shot 1 clean, shoot 3 clean. After this barrel I’m done doing that. Just wasting rounds and cleaning supplies doing that way I think. I have the rest of my brass loaded up to fire form then I will run a latter test again with the fire formed brass. And call the barrel broke in. [/QUOTE]
