If you have never broke one in, Fire one shot clean repeat at least 5 times then go to 3 shots until it quits copper flowing. Clean with something like Butches Bore Shine or Montana Extreme. These are the ones that all bench rest shooters use. Be sure to use a good cleaning rod not one of those 3 or 4 part jobs. You can ruin a rifle in short order by improper cleaning or no good cleaning equipment. And be sure to use a bore guide. I saw a guy ruin a $400 barrel in 1 bench rest match by not cleaning his rifle the correct way. Instead of pulling the rod out straight he pulled it out in an arc as he rotated his arm. Sinclair International or Haydon's Shooting Supply has every thing you need. I would try Russ Haydon, very nice people.

Thanks for the great advice Lynwood, appreciate it! Sounds like a very thorough way to do it right.
