Guilty!
FWIW,
this child don't do the standard barrel break in proceedure.
I typically will take a "new to me" rifle and set up on a rest and do 50 to 100 strokes through the barrel with a bronze bore brush coated with a JB/Kroil mixture, using a bore guide coated rod. After 20 strokes or so, I wipe the rod down and go back to swabbing. I usually change the brush after 50 or so strokes if I'm gonna do more.
I come back with cotton patches and only push from receiver to muzzle only. Don't pull the dirty patch back through the barrel. After patches are mostly clean i will check with wipe-out/patch out to determine if I'm down to bare metal. If so, then I run a couple kroil soaked patches and I'm good to go foul in the barrel
Can't prove that it works,
but what the hey!
After I hunt I may run a Kroil patch back through the barrel.
Figure it ought to be good for at least 60 rounds or whenever I notice accuracy falling off.
ya!
