Finally about ready to shoot my 7prc I had built. The smith that did the work has a "barrel break in" recommendation that includes thorough cleaning with Butch's bore shine. What's everyone's opinion on Butch's? Any other recommendations of other similar products? Seems like more recent reviews of Butch's are mixed especially vs overwhelming glowing reviews in past.
Butch’s bore shine?

Good stuff not sure if it's the Best but has worked great for me. As far as barrel break in what is his recommended procedure
It's pretty involving and can be adjusted more or less patches/cleanings based off what the patches look like. Here is a paraphrase
Start with 2-3 wet patches of Butch's and then 2-3 dry patches. Shoot a round and then do 3-5 wet patches of Butch's followed by 3-5 dry patches then throughly brush Sweets 7.62 to get the bore saturated…let it sit 15 minutes. Run 2 patches soaked with peroxide followed by dry. Shoot a round and start it all over.
Seems like a lot but I'll give it a try for the first several rounds.

Sounds like Harry's recommendation.
