Don't mean to me a creep, but this topic is beaten to death about every week. You might try searching back a few days before people like me answer:Barrel break-in ,how do you do yours ?
There seems to be a few schools of thought on this , what system do you use and why?
Go out, chamber a round, see a Deer, shoot it, process it. Job done, back in time for tea.

I don't. I just shoot it. Barrel break in is a bunch of hooey.
Or someone else puts up a link to the massage therapy school of barrel break in.

i don't, just take it slow and easy to start, don't let it get hot.
All that means to me is a minute or so between shots while zeroing a new rifle.
I will clean it after each use to start with until i see if or how badly it fouls, then a good clean every
50 or so rounds, the exception is the hornet, clean every 100 to 150 rounds.
After each trip out i single pull through with a bore snake, just remove loose crud and any dampness.

I realise opinion is divided on Barrel Break-in but I will pose the following for those that argue against.
My 6.5X284 came from a well known Builder with a nice and clean Krieger Barrel fitted. I fired 1 shot and was surprised to see heavy copper fouling visible in the muzzle and for several inches back up the Barrel. You could feel the tight spot when pushing a solvent soaked patch down. Now what would the anti break-in people have done? Just kept shooting Bullets down the fouled barrel? It took me the best part of a day of shooting and cleaning to get to a point where the barrel did not copper. It now shoots very well and cleaning is a breeze, it does not lay copper down at all.
I think what I did helped with that particular barrel but my opinion is not entrenched and I am always willing to learn. I am also not entirely sure just what I did to the Barrel that helped it either.
My other barrels, Lilja, Shilen and Walther were all excellent. Couple of shots. no tight spots after powder fouling removed and no blue on the patch. Job done and just go shooting.

HOWA UK seem to think its worthwhile breaking a barrel in ...

just take the rifle out of the box, pull through, zero then go shoot stuff. Well to be fair if you can't then you need to take it back cause it's s&!*
