So, I just ran across some info on the internet, about breaking in barrels. Is this true or a hoax?
I've bought many of guns through the years, and not one of the owners manuals ever said anything about breaking in barrels. I always just started sending projectiles through the barrels, once I get them set up.
In the articles I read, said something to the affect that I need to shoot one round, clean the barrel. Shoot two rounds, clean the barrel. Shoot three rounds, clean the barrel. And so on till you shoot five rounds. I just got a Savage .17, and the scope came in today. And I want to set it up, and sight it in this weekend.
So, please help me out and let me know if this is a hoax. If it is true, what is the proper break in procedure?
Thanks
