Re: Before the first Shot
Not in my opinion - clean it well, degrease the bore and chamber, and blast away.
Re: Before the first Shot
Thanks - Eric, any comments about barrel break-in?
Re: Before the first Shot
I'm a believer in barrel break in. It certainly wont hurt anything. Here's a how to link from the Savage website

Yeah ! what he said and they shoot great too !!
Re: Before the first Shot
I have done both ways and I can say that I have not seen any benefit to JBing a new bore. They are just plain rough, and it takes a few rounds before they start shooting.
On break in just shoot it, I have never seen where a shoot and clean break in has ever made a lick of difference.
I am not a big fan of Tubb final finish, it is just too aggressive IMO.
