| Yes you can break the bore of a barrel in by giving it a good clean when you get it home, then shoot a shot, clean, shoot a shot clean etc for five shots. Then make sure its nice and clean and then shoot 3 shots and clean. Do this 3 times. When you have cleaned for the last time, shoot five shots and clean really well. Make sure your barrel doesnt get too warm when doing this. Allow a few minute between shots if need be.
You can also polish your bore with a mild abrasive cleaner, and you might not have to do as much of a break in procedure. Rifles seem to settle down properly after 100 or so shots. |
