Barrel break-in - 2 do or not 2 do

[Smoke]

I too was a 1000 yd shooter and tryed many procedures in the years past.. came to the same conclusion Bartein says.. let the barrel tell you what it needs..
New barrel shoot 2 to 5 shots >.clean for fouling then a good copper cleaner like Sweets 7.62 .. if you don't get alot of copper.. shoot 5 to 10 more .. clean and copper clean .. if still no big copper on patch shoot and have fun..
if you get a lot of copper shoot 10 rds clean.. shoot 10 clean,,.continue till you see the copper deposits lessen
Thats worked well for me for years now..

Thanks
