The last new barrel I broken in I did the following. Cleaned barrel and applied Dyna Bore Coat. Used five rounds to get the gun sighted in. And 9 more for load development. I then loaded 500 rounds of the best load. The next weekend I went out and shot all 500 rounds at prairie dogs over two days without cleaning once. When I got home I cleaned it with Wipeput and it wasng too bad. Loaded up 500 more rounds and repeated. After 1500 rounds it shoots just about like it did when I started, which is to say pretty damn good.
Probably broke every rule of break in and the instructions for DBC, but I am not losing sleep over it. I have better crap to do than fart around cleaning insistently.
