This will be going down the next barrel I have to do.SaguaroKid;1535127; said:
Rifle break-in
What is the correct way to break in a new rifle? I have never owned a new rifle and this is new to me. Should I just reload some crap loads and go shoot 20 or so? This is for my 300 Ultra mag so 20 rounds might be it for the day.
Thanks in advance.

Actually, Bushmaster Firearms reccomends "blazing away" for something like 1,000 rounds with no cleaning on a chrome-lined barrel but that doesn't really fit your application.blnagel;1536419; said:I have all the cleaning supplies mentioned. I will do just as described since that makes most sense to me. I didnt think going out and blazing away was the best and I was correct. Thanks for your help guys.
I already reloaded @ 40 various rounds and now I will load some dumpers and clean each one. One load took 103 grains of Hogden Retumbo!
103 GRAINS!!
Retumbo indeed. And I thought putting 85 in my 300 Weatherby was a lot.
