Few questions. Does a 5r rifle need to be broken in? In theory since the ridges are not 90 degrees it would not needed it. Also what about treated barrels such as melonite? Those would take much longer to break in correct?
Talk to 20 different people about barrel break-in and you'll get 20 different stories. Since the "Gun Guru's" can't agree on this, I think I'll just start shooting my new precision rifle and not worry about it. Did that on my last one and it still shoots .50" groups.
I'v ask gun guru's for years since 1991 my first 🦌 rifle one say yes one no🤔⁉️ Then one will say the materials now a days don't need it. The steel vary hard and no need for it. Then one will say brake in and don't clean out the bor and it will stay the same on target.
I never have done that to my 🔫 I'v been told that I don't need to break in. New barrel don't need it I use stainless steel gun's. Don't get the barrel hot biggest problems with accuracy. Keep it in the 10 👍🏽
Nylon is abrasive from nature, makes very good clean, but weares out youre barrel faster!, Onley use nylon for first clean, right after the gunsmith, after that onley copper brushes ,copper and bras has a gliding nature, and Hoppes9 br is good, BoreTech does the same but faster

That was a great explanation of the lapping process and importance of barrel cleaning. Thanks!

If it eats copper, it eats steel too
onley after 10 minutes, Hoppes and Boretch wont
So 7mm 7 times.
A 7 mm is a .284. So 28 times.
