What do they say on their website under Frequently Asked Questions?
I’d shoot it.
You can never go wrong by doing 20-30 iterations of cleaning all fouling and copper from the bore between each shot, and then moving to the same process with 5 shot strings for 20-30 rounds.
60 rounds and a couple hours on the range isn't much to ask if you really want to get long-term performance.

Bare stainless I'll break-in. Any coated/treated/chrome lined barrels just get shot. I find that the less fussing I do with the bore the more consistent the rifle is.
A friend with a Kreiger barreled rifle was chatting with me regarding break-in when I was firing the first rounds out of my precision bolt gun. This guy shoots some serious groups, and is easily the best shooter I've ever seen first hand.
His words: "Kreiger keeps a break in FAQ on their site only because they are tired of people asking them [about breaking barrels in]." There are professional shooters that have no break in procedure other than to... shoot... the... gun.
In other words: shoot the gun. When the groups open up, clean it. Repeat.
There's no more voodoo involved than that. Shoot. The. Gun.

Same guy I know is ringing 2” gongs at 600y with a .223 and Krieger barrel.Quote:
