Hi,
I bought a Remington XR-100 that I will be shooting for the first time either tomorrow or Saturday. I was wondering about the proper barrel break in procedure.
What I was going to do was wipe the bore down before shooting; shoot one shot, run boresnake through it, run one wet patch and one dry patch (repeat for 10 shots; wait three minutes in between shots); Shoot five rounds, run boresnake and one wet and dry patch, repeat once.
After that I thought it would be fine.
I have two questions though, what would you change about this procedure?
Will a boresnake work properly followed by one wet & one dry patch, or shout I just go cleaning rod all the way?
