Thank you very much for your clear, no nonsense video, your advise makes very good sence and is greatly appreciated.

The patch out after each shot is for custom target barrels that have never been fired before (like you would get if you buy a barrel from someone like Madden or Tobler and have it fitted)This is exactly what we needed to do with new target barrels (when I was into fullbore target shooting some years back). Also folks be aware that using excessive amounts of ammonia based bore solvents (like Sweets 7.62) in STAINLESS barrels can damage them by dissolving the nickle that is alloyed into the stainless steel and that they can also rust chrome-moly (standard steel) barrels if left in for much more than 10 or so minutes.

Cheers Ozzie, Much appreciated mate!.. I take delivery of my brand new Oryx soon and will follow this method. take care, Skorp - WA

Thanks mate, I found this a useful and commonsense approach, well explained....still helping others 7yrs + 👍

Interesting and informative champion. Great stuff

Thanks Ozzie .. Worth the wait and as you promised .. Looking forward to #3

Spot on Luke , I’d go so far as to say any rifle any barrel I’m still a fullbore shooter , but I’ve studied metallurgy as a component of boilermaker at tafe , no what’s happening when we run a barrel in , we’ll the inside is rough from new and the running in smooths the bore and takes away those nasty jagged edges in there , but also and more importantly you are core /work hardening the surface , look up work hardening of steels for instance hit a railway track with a hammer and anywhere you can dent it , except the head of the rail as it’s been work hardened by the bogies , yes I was on the railway as a welder , , so every bullet lays down deposits of copper into the bore surface , sweets or other copper solvents are designed to get this out , and personally I would go shot patch shot patch until no copper came out , you can always tell a well run in barrel as it’s copper comes strait out after 1000 rounds etc , but if we aneal copper into the surface there is a possibility this softer part may set the barrel to loose accuracy prematurely, ie the copper is acting as barrel surface in one area and stainless in another , however I’ve had barrels that would not ever stop giving up green , but they Shot well , personally next time I’m thinking of running in with chrome moly projectiles , never seen them but I heard they are out there , if they work harden and are a harder bullet then it stands to reason that they will leave minimal deposits , I’m not sure if the chrome moly would aneal into the surface , I best research that , but chrome moly work , Characteristics of chromoly An important characteristic of chromoly is that it can be easily hardened by heat treating or work hardening. It can also be case-hardened by a process known as carburisation, where the outside of the metal is significantly hardened whilst the material retains its chemical properties, cut and pasted, I think chrome moly is the go for 1st 100 , well I’m gonna try it

Will use this method, thanks again for making videos like this

Nice vid. Getting a tikka t3x superlite strata next week in 7mm rem mag and will use this method. You should try get your hands on one of the new tikka models, they come with muzzle brakes and cerakote and look unreal

I'm days away from taking delivery of my T3x Varmint (.223). I've heard running it in isn't necessary BUT will do it anyway. It's not hard to give the bore a once over in between groups of 5 rounds and it will make me feel better knowing I did everything I could to maintain the integrity of the barrel.

Yep as I said in the video you'll get all sorts of opinions but this is the way I have done it for years and it works for me. Whether or not people want to do it this way is something that I'll leave up to them...

Thanks for the video sir.

In my opinion, if it doesn't make a mention of it in the manual, it doesn't need to be done. I took my Tikka T3 CTR out and shot about 60 rounds the first day, cleaned it as usual, and it's done as well ever since.

@shauno7582

Oath. Tikkas, being cold hammer forged are already pretty much as smooth as the bore and rifling can get. Ozzie’s way is pretty basic and simple as it gets and seems like pretty decent system.

I was surprised how many cleanings it took to get rid of the Tikka shippping grease in the barrel. I did not use a brush, just wet and dry patches with Shooter's Choice. I shot a round, cleaned, shot a round, cleaned for 10 rounds and then good to go. I live in Alaska and shoot a 130 gr Barnes TTSX hand load with 4350 out of a .270 Win Tikka.

Please do a refresher, this is great

First day I shot a brand new Ruger American .22 I put 200 rounds through it, I was putting round after round in the same holes once I had it sighted in at 50 yards

Nice series and definitely helpful, however I have missed doing this for my new CZ .22lr , what do you think is a long term impact of this. Second question is, here in Victoria we don’t have G96 available so looking for any recommendations on what to use for bore cleaning. Please suggest Thanks

Top stuff Ozzie, rimfire version in the works?

Can you do or recommend a video on proper cleaning of a Tikka t1x bolt ?

So, is the scope sight in procedure part of the break in process?

Just wondering brother how would I go about getting a 338 Lapua?

So if i got off of graveyard shift and bought a rifle then ran 40 rounds down the barrel without cleaning it will if affect the long term accuracy? Guess i am going to find out

would you please do a video on mounting scopes as I receantly bought a savage and a scope but dont know how to attach it properly

Yes mate I will, t's actually the next video I have lined up, hang in there it's on it's way!

Have you ever tried this method vs not doing it at all with two identical guns? As you said in your introduction, a lot of people online, both casual and champion benchrest shooters say its a myth, even high quality barrel manufacturers say the same, however I've never seen decent enough comparative data or testing to say with certainty that one way is better than another (or not at all). Either way, the cost/time/effort to do something like your video is completely minimal and wouldn't hurt in the long run (especially if you've forked out 4 figures for a new barrel, may as well do every little thing you can). Another great vid Ozzie!

I am a firm believer that breaking in a barrel is a myth. I've tried the patch after every shot method and I've tried a similar method to what you do. Never found it to make any difference at all. These days I simply do an initial cleaning and patching to clean out the bore of any test firing residue, shipping grease etc. Then I sight the rifle in and do a post shooting clean as you normally would.

@snakethepeg7828

It does but not really for an average shooter. Unless you need to predict muzzle velocity for long range firing solutions or high level competition. You can change the copper equilibrium curve if you know what your doing. Certainly not worth the effort for most shooters

Tony ND G96 has no ammonia, but by the same token it also has no copper removing qualities it will simply remove powder fouling and lubricants the bore.

The thing is, it doesn't hurt to patch out every 5 rounds as explained by Ozzie. Each to their own though, if people think it is a myth, then just shoot it.

It just depends how anal you want to be about the fine details of the rifle's accuracy. I would take the precaution of doing this with a competition or long range hunting rifle, but I don't think you'll notice significant effects from plinking at 25-50 yds with a 22. Been shooting all my life, and I personally wouldn't go through the effort of breaking in a 22.

hey mate great video..is that a job dewey rod? if so is there any difference between the stainless and coated steel? and how many inches is that particular cleaning rod you are using?

No, pro-shot 42". Personal preference on the stainless vs coated steel. The main thing is to make sure you don't damage the bore and/or chamber over time, but if you take your time you won't have an issue...

Hey, what happened to your bore guide? Far more important than the theoretical benefit of running in a barrel. I've been shooting for 49 years and hand loading for 42 years. Don't bother to use any barrel break in procedure anymore but it doesn't hurt if you want to.

The military really needs accurate rifles and they take care of their equipment and have invested time and money to see what helps and they break them in one shot clean etc so that’s what I do and all mine shoot good never had a problem everyone does it different but you can’t go back in time and wished you did something else
