[G5-Maniac]

Going to buy a new rifle next week (6.5 creedmoor) what’s the best way to break in the barrel.

Shoot it!

clean it...shoot it. Break in period is not needed.

Cleaned my ruger American once I bought it. Shot 5 times and cleaned at the range and then sighted in. It’s a bullet hole cutter. 6.5 creed as well

Everyone has a different opinion on it. I say, clean it, shoot it, clean it, shoot it, clean it, shoot it. You get the idea.

Just read this:

Clean your barrel when you get it as the OEM will often put grease or oil in the bore to inhibit rust. Then shoot it.

Had one re-barrelled and asked the 'smith about break-in. He said a dozen dead pigs would do it.

I think 20 would be better

I strongly disagree with foregoing the break-in process. Check out the break-in procedures on Bartlein's website. I have used their methods a few times now and it works very well.

Initial clean grease. Shoot it until it looses zero. Clean.
Went 650 Rounds with my CM before needing cleaning.
