Barrel Break In???

[22-250fanatic]

I agree with Rocky's method. I bought a new Ruger 3 years ago and used that method. I bought a new Tikka last year and used that method. I rebarreled my old Reminton and again I used that method. All three rifles shoot very tight groups, the biggest benefit I know is that the barrel cleans up very nicely. My old Remington was aquired used and I shot it for 15 years. It was always a pain to clean, I would normally have to used more patches than I care to think about and never actually got a completely clean patch. I mean 30-40 patchs and numerous passes with a brush. I could always seem to get more copper out and eventually called it good and went shooting.

My two new rifles cleaned up after 8-12 patches and a couple of passes with the brush. I rebarreled the Remington and after the break-in it cleans up the same.

I'm a believer, and after you been reading here for a while you will find out if Rocky speaks, listen!
