[QUOTE="HooterShooter, post: 101906, member: 5549"] The troubling comment about the Shilen comment is that he says "now your barrel is broken in". It's not an instant process. Some barrels may take 40 shots, some 60, some 20. Each barrel is different. Lets say a particluar barrel is 100% broken in after 37 rounds. Its isnt a situation where there barrel is not borken in at 36 rounds and then suddenly broken in at 37 rounds. It gets better and better until it can get no better. Lets say that you took a brand new Lilja barrel and shot 20 rounds then cleaned. Then repeated this 3 more times. Lets say that the first 3 cleanings were mediocre and finally after 80 rounds the rifle was thoroughly cleaned, however long it took and whatever strong solvents were used. Now have a perfectly clean barrel with 80 rounds through it. Why will this barrel be different that if the 1-shot-clean method was used? I don't think it will be. [/QUOTE]
