New barrel break in

[rob_s]

I was told this:
Clean every shot for first 10 shots
Clean ever fifth shot for 20 shots

That's what I did when I had mine. Used the time to rough sight it in and all that too.

I pushed a wet patch through, then a dry patch, repeated until the dry patch came out clean and dry.

My 700 never saw a bore brush.

Used a one-piece coated Dewey rod (that I probably still have somewhere if you want it) for all my cleaning.

While it may be voodoo, it didn't hurt anything either.

If I were buying today I'd probably just shoot it.

Bring it Friday if you do not mind...

+1. Just a waste of time, rounds, and barrel life.

Another Vote, Clean bore before first shot and clean after you are done shooting.

Here is how Remington recommends breaking in and cleaning their precision rifles:

This is kind of a follow up, with detail listing of products too:

On the few occasions I've broken in a precision barrel I've followed this procedure up to 50 rounds. At that point the bore mops were coming out pretty clean so I called it good. With my GAP I clean every 20-30 rounds and use copper cleaning solvent every 50-60 rounds. Two pieces of equipment are essential, a bore guide, and a coated one-piece cleaning rod. Be very careful around the crown area to reduce wear and tear on it. YMMV.
