[QUOTE="jdmecomber, post: 1560768, member: 94549"] The research I have found is copper always fills the rifling and the excess gets shot out the barrel. So if you clean the copper, then it has to fill back in anyways. We just did a benchmark barrel and never cleaned it one time. Just a couple pulls of a snake through it. It didn't settle for over 100 shots. We have a factory Ruger Precision with a factory barrel we are working on soon. 6.5 Creedmoor. We will try this breakin method of cleaning after every shot and see if we can get it to settle. I will try 40 rounds and if it doesn't settle we will move on to doing some ladder and ocw testing.
