Hmm... Never did a "break in" on my Howa. I think I ran a patch through it to remove any grease or oil when i got it. After installing in B&C stock, DIP bottom metal, and DIP mag release, I modified the magazine for "flush" fit. I put on a scope and took it out to shoot. Got the scope dialed in and the next 5 shots with Hornady Black were one ragged hole at 100 yards.
Come to think of it, my break in routine is clean it when I get it, take it out and shoot it. Get it zeroed and shoot it more. If accuracy starts falling off, clean it again.
