[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2661577, member: 78056"] Breaking in a new custom barrel (factory barrels are a completely different can of worms) involves a certain amount of voodoo, plain and simple. What works for me may not work for you just due to the way I hold my tongue or the phase of the moon! Hell, if I thought it would help I'd dance around a campfire nekkid with a knife between my teeth! I moly coat all of the bullets I shoot in my custom barrelled guns so I want the barrel pretty smooth. So far I've never gotten a custom barrel that wasn't pretty slick looking in the scope but if I thought it was a bit rough or if it coppered up quickly, I would be tempted to shoot a few rounds of NECO polishing rounds down the tube. The stuff works wonders on pistols that shoot plain lead, although I have gotten away from plain lead these days and always shoot the coated bullets. I do break barrels in, usually using whatever the manufacturer suggests. If they don't feel the need for break in, I just monitor the copper build up as I shoot. It works for me!
