	Guys, I just posted a new article titled: Barrel Break-In Process. It details Badger Barrels’ process and Lee Shaver abbreviated technique. If you’re interested, click on the following link. (You need to *Login* or *Register* to view media files and links) Wayne

	I purchased a few years ago a new .223 with a bore so rough that patches would tear to pieces while trying to clean it. I broke it in by firing one shot at a time and cleaning with oiled steel wool. That rifle is now extremely accurate, does not foul with copper, and it needs one wet patch and one dry patch to clean. The shots from a clean dry bore and a fouled bore are within 1/2', always. While cleaning with steel wool at the shooting range, there were many hunters there, as it was just a week or two before hunting season., They saw my scrubbing and thought i was nuts. Half of them could not keep their bullet holes into a 6" circle at 100 yards. One idiot in particular had 3 kinds of ammunition, switched back and forth between them and adjusted his scope after every shot. He he he.

	A lack of practical experiance does not make an individual an idiot. No one is born with all knowledge it is something one gains going through life. One would assume the gentleman mentioned has not yet gained the knowledge that switching ammo makes a differance. He might have substantial knowledge in an area we are not highly familiar with and we would not like him to consider us idiots for lack of the same would we.

	And that I agree with you on if that was what was taking place on that day. We need less of that taking place in this modern day world but one should not lower one's self to their same level. Idiot is a powerful and severly degrading word and it makes one appear to be on a higher level than others. Self rghteous, arrogant or self centered might have been a better choice of words? JLouis

	I found this post very interesting and wrapped some steel wool around a cleaning rod and had a go with my new unfired 5.6x50R BSA Martini. I clean with Hoppes number 9 after firing. about three wet patches followed by dry and a final wet patch and put the rifle away for the night. The next day I clean with a dry patch and have always found green copper fouling on the patch. Another wet patch and put away and do this each day for a week by when the patches come out clean. I then oil the barrel with engine oil and put away. After shooting and cleaning my new barrel barrel on Sunday, imagine my surprise when I cleaned it this morning and there was absolutely no green copper fouling on the patch.
