What is the recommended barrel break-in procedure?
Because individual barrels, powder, primer and bullet combinations vary widely and because shooters have strongly held person opinions on the subject, Barrett does not offer a specific procedure for barrel break in. Barrett does recognize that a clean barrel shoots better. Barrett also recommends that you do not overheat your barrel, especially your new barrel. Experience has shown that the bore will begin to be less prone to fouling over time and that accuracy increases as this happens.
