I know all of the recommendations that are online, but with the high cost and more importantly the scarcity of some ammo have some of you modified your new rifle break in?
With the increase of quality of new rifle barrels (many) I have shortened my break in on $$$ per shot rifles to 5 shots and clean, another 5 shots and clean, and if not yet sighted in to my chosen hunting ammo just enough more to get sighted in comfortably.
Now I do shoot other, less $$$ per shot, rifles for practice. But I don’t see wisdom in blowing $$$ down the barrel unessesarily.
What do you all think?
And this is for a Ga hunting rifle with most shots under 200 (100 realistically) yards.
