Great video sir. I do something similar but with 6 rounds and then work on load development. I have never seen an increase or decrease in accuracy with this method, but I can tell you that breaking a barrel in will make cleaning much easier.

Thanks for the great videos, you sold me on the browning X bolt. Getting ready to place my order for next year’s elk hunt in Colorado.

Good video. 1 suggestion. You have scope caps, use them. Protect your optics from the solvent.

I usually clean my gun before I sight in my new rifle. It’s usually about a box of ammo and then I clean it again. I don’t think it’s necessary to constantly clean a barrel after each shot. Good job though

I think you're supposed to use nylon brushes with the copper cleaner as the copper cleaner will start reacting to the copper/brass brush making it seem like there is still copper to clean out.
@mikegoodwin23869 ай бұрын
The nylon brush is preferable because the copper cleaner will dissolve a brass brush over time. I don't think it's a big deal if you don't mind replacing brushes. IMO, nylon is better, but if brass is what you have handy, it's not a terrible thing.

I am enjoying your videos. Just bought browning x bolt mountain pro in the 6.8 western. Zeiss 6 x 24 on top. Can't find the browning Sierra ammo anywhere. Sorry to ask but did you use the wire brush after each of your first 3 shots. Thanks and keep making videos.

Break in I don’t know maybe if you are shooting past 300 yards but definitely clean it good before and while sighting in. The few guns I’ve purchased can’t say I ever break in but very seldom do I shot over 150 yards

What is the bore guide you are using and what are the cleaning rods your using also?

I am about to buy a Mountain Pro LR in 6.8 Western. This might be a dumb question but I'm wondering what size of cleaning rod, brush and jag you use. Is it .270, since the parent case of the western is a 270wsm? Thank you!

After you finalize your ‘break-in”and you are satisfied with your “zeroing in”do you clean your gun prior to the hunt? I’ve heard that you leave the gun alone and DO NOT do a final cleaning prior to the hunt. Your thoughts??
@HuntTheBreakTV Жыл бұрын
I don’t clean after the break in process unless my groups start to spread or the rifle is in wet/muddy conditions after a hunt. But then I confirm zero after I clean.

Why clean every time?
@HuntTheBreakTV11 ай бұрын
The theory is that new barrels have microscopic imperfections from the manufacturing process. The barrel break in process smoothes out those tiny imperfections. By cleaning after each shot, you remove any corrosive material before it sets in to those imperfections. In reality, with the quality of manufacturing and material today, it’s probably not necessary but I still do it.

That’s why I said in the first 10 seconds of the video that it may not be necessary but it’s what I do. Whether it makes a difference or not, I’ll continue to do it because it won’t hurt it. Have a good one.

@@curtischapple9323 I don’t have a 6.5 PRC so I can’t comment on it. But I can’t say enough good things about the 6.8 Western. It’s taken everything from antelope to moose. I personally killed a black bear in Wyoming at 350 yards with it last fall. I’m going to do a long range shooting video with it as soon as I get a good day for it. It’s a great all around caliber.
