Tried the search function but couldn't find anything.
lot's of articles on the web but perhaps you can link me to some correct info on break in for the MMR got a bore snake and solvent but thinking i should use bore guide with nylon rod.. |

You are going to get a bunch of different answers, so be prepared. Many will tell you (and it's likely true) that if it's not a match rifle that break-in isn't even necessary.
Even knowing this, most of the time when I get a new barrel I will do some sort of break-in, just because. Most of the time that consists of one shot, boresnake, clean with patch and solvent, two shots, boresnake, clean with patch and solvent, up to maybe 4 or 5 shots. Then I call it good. |

Here's what I do, and it has worked well for me. Shoot 5 shots at 25 yards. Then move the target to 50 yards and shoot five more. After that, move it to 100 and shoot another five. This procedure makes sure that you don't strain your rifle by shooting it too far the first few rounds. |
| You really don't need to, but I do anyways. I shoot 100 rounds at a slower than mag dump pace. I then clean the rifle to get out any burrs from the factory that loosened up and re-lubricate. This also gives the barrel time to cool back down. I then repeat this method at whatever ROF one more time and call it done. Even this is overkill tho |

I've found this method to work quite well--It seasons the barrel perfectly:
Barrel "Break in" |

Load magazine Shoot until empty Repeat as desired Enjoy the wonders of modern metallurgy If you are running a non-stainless barrel in a non-precision rifle, to surmise what Mr. Covertness stated: Just shoot the fucker. For most of us with most non-match grade target barrels, this is the answer. If you have a true sub MOA capable barrel go to the manufacturer's website for break in instructions, which will vary depending on the type of steel used, the hardening process, if any, whether the barrel was lapped, the type of rifling, and how hard or soft the bullets are that you will be initially using. Even then the best manufacturers do not agree. it's a black art of little importance for 99.9 percent of us. |

Just shoot it. |
| I've tried break-ins, my Howa manual had a part about breaking in the barrel using windex and a copper cleaner so I thought I'd try it. Shoot 1 clean 1 for 10 shots, shoot 2 clean 1 for 10 shots, took forever. It shoots well but I think a barrel's accuracy potential pretty much ends with the machinist and you can't polish a turd. |

I've done some long range shooting and own a custom hand lapped rem 6mmBR rifle. I looked into it alot and from what I have read most say its snake oil to help you wear out your new barrel by cleaning and shooting more. |
