[QUOTE="Petras, post: 216531, member: 216"] The last barrel I broke in was my Browning Hells Canyon Long Range Hunter in 6.5 creedmoor. My break in procedure was pretty simple. I took 10 rather quick shots to get the barrel warmed up to make sure the stock was properly free floated. Once I slid a dollar bill between the barrel and stock and saw it was all good I went ahead and cleaned it with some hoppes number 9 until the pads came out clean. After it was clean I went ahead and shot another 10 rounds, cleaned it again, and then called it good. It's probably not the right way to go about it, but it has always worked well for me and that gun shoots less than 1/2" groups at 100 yards with factory ammo. My longest kill on a coyote with it is 452 yards while actually dialing up the scope so I must not have jacked up the barrel. [/QUOTE]
