Break in

[KRP]

i can litteraly put bull lets through the same hole at 25 and get single hole groups out to 100

Very impressive with any rifle...more so with a 17HMR.

Not really? .17 is very capable

My post before assumed 25 and 100 yards, maybe I was mistaken?

[goodolsavage]

25-35 yards in the same hole and out to 100 maybe 125 In a ragged hole/ touching one a other

Clean it. Shoot it three times. Clean it. Shoot it three times. Clean it. Shot it five times. Let cool off. Shot five more. All done.!!!

Ok sounds like it more of a matter if you want to spend the time to do it or not. I think I will do it. Will let you all know what comes of it.

I would do this over the one shot clean and repeat 10 times and so on

Sounds better then shoot it once clean 10 time then shoot three times clean (x5) and so in and fourth

I guess you should have adde what gun you are wanting to break in? Some guns dont need it and some guns because the way theyre made wont benifeit in terms of accuracy

You mean, you're supposed to clean the barrel?

[goodolsavage]

I wondered when we were going to hear from you! :)

[fgw_in_fla]

Any barrel, new, Savage factory or aftermarket, it gets installed, a few warm up shots & it's off to the load testing. Maybe, and this is a big maybe,.... Maybe a quick wet swab with a little Hoppe's to pull out some carbon.
Otherwise, they get cleaned whenever the accuracy starts to fall off.
Of course, there's the occasional copper grabber that needs to be de-coppered after every use.

2nd that

3rd that, cleaning is unneccessary until the accuracy falls off, 100 rounds or 1000.

Would the above apply for a shieln select match ss hand lapped barrel?

If I dare answer your question that may have been directed specifically to Homefront; Darb, as I remember, the general consensus in this thread was that "break-in" is a waste of barrel life and time.

Having said that, Homefrontsniper's stated routine for break-in will be as good as any other and would apply to any barrel that you wish to apply the logic and regime to.

I have done it many times. Nothing wrong with doing so. I doubt I will subject myself or my new barrels to the routine again in the future, though.

does that answer your question? :)
