Barrel Break-In Procedure

Barrel Break-In Procedure

Schools of thought

There may be different schools of thought on barrel break-in, however, this is what Precision Shooting Magazine recommends:

STEP 1 (repeated 10 times)

  • Fire one round
  • Push wet patches soaked with a powder solvent through the bore
  • Push a brush through the bore (5 times in each direction)
  • Push dry patches through the bore (2 times)
  • Push wet patches soaked with a copper solvent through the bore
  • Push a brush through the bore (5 times in each direction)
  • Push dry patches through the bore (2 times)
  • Push a patch with 2 drops of oil through the bore

STEP 2 (repeated 5 times)

  • Fire a 3 shot group
  • Repeat the cleaning procedure from STEP 1 after each group

STEP 3 (repeat 5 times)

  • Fire a 5 shot group
  • Repeat the cleaning procedure from STEP 1
They recommend the use of a patch with 2 drops of oil after the cleaning so that you are not shooting with a dry bore. It is also advisable to use a powder solvent and copper solvent from the same manufacturer to be sure they are chemically compatible.

16/17 April 2016 ---- 7 Patriot Weekend Project Appleseed Marksmanship Clinics




Come celebrate the most important day in American History and learn an essential skill.

Learn the essentials of shooting a modern rifle from multiple positions (standing, kneeling, sitting, prone), 6 steps of firing the shot, breathing and trigger control, natural point of aim, how to quickly zero any rifle, range estimation, trajectory and a whole lot more! No matter your current skill level, this class will give you the tools to improve, based on proven techniques. Will you take the challenge and earn the coveted title of "Rifleman?" Project Appleseed™ is a nationwide program that teaches rifle marksmanship skills that have been passed down from generation to generation and reconnects Americans with the people and events of colonial America. Though most shooting is done at 25 meters, students are taught the disciplines that allow a Rifleman to be accurate out to 500 yards* using a standard rifle with iron sights and surplus ammunition. This ability is traditionally known as mastering the "Rifleman's Quarter Mile." Teaching is performed by multiple instructors, each with hundreds of hours of training, to give you a unique opportunity to improve skills safely and effectively. So join us, hear some little-known Revolutionary War history and help us pass on the traditions of the American Rifleman.
