straight off of Savage's website: There may be different schools of thought on barrel break-in, however, this is what Precision Shooting Magazine recommends: 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.
Step 1
- Fire one round.
- Push wet paches soaked with a powder solvent through the bore.
- Push a brush through the bore 5 times in each direction.
- Push dry patches throug 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
- Fire a 3 shot group
- Repeat the cleaning procedure from STEP 1 after each group
- Repeat 5 times.
Step 3
