Big Joe, there are a gazillion methods to break in a barrel. I'd guess that all of them are good in one way or another.

But the ones that feature firing 100 rounds would be brutal with a 300 Winnie!

I'd suggest a shoot and clean routine like this:

Shoot one round and clean. Repeat five times.

Fire two rounds and clean. Repeat five times.

Fire five rounds and clean. Repeat five times.

That's a total of 40 rounds. In a high-intensity or large-case caliber like the 300 Win Mag, that may be enough.

If the bore still seems rough or hard to clean at that point, start over.

I can't help you with the trigger as I've never owned a Ruger rifle.
