[QUOTE="DaveTN, post: 5327831, member: 3052"] This is on the Savage Website FAQ's.............. Although there may be different schools of thought on barrel break-in, this is what [B]Precision Shooting Magazine[/B] recommends: STEP 1 (repeated 10 times) Fire one round Push wet patches soaked with a powder solvent through the bore Push a brush through the bore (5 times in each direction) Push dry patches through the bore (2 times) Push wet patches soaked with a copper solvent through the bore Push a brush through the bore (5 times in each direction) Push dry patches through the bore (2 times) Push a patch with 2 drops of oil through the bore STEP 2 (repeated 5 times) Fire a 3 shot group Repeat the cleaning procedure from STEP 1 after each group STEP 3 (repeat 5 times) Fire a 5 shot group Repeat the cleaning procedure from STEP 1 They recommend the use of a patch with 2 drops of oil after the cleaning so that you are not shooting with a dry bore. It is also advisable to use a powder solvent and copper solvent from the same manufacturer to be sure they are chemically compatible.
