[QUOTE="Lakenut, post: 3074405, member: 30258"] This is an I know enough to be dangerous question.... I have a new savage 16 in 7mm08. After reading all kinds of various opinion on break in I finally got to shoot yesterday. I shot 1 and cleaned with Hoppes bench rest until I got a clean patch. Sent a rem oil patch next. Then a couple of dry patches. Did this for the first 10 shots. Then shot 3 and clean for 2 groups. Got home and cleaned the bore. The copper comes off the lands pretty well. However the heaviest fouling is in the grooves. Is this an issue. A soak over night wasn't enough to get the copper out. I'm reluctant to go the JB bore paste route....again based on interweb reading.....same for sweets. Heard good stuff about wipe out but can' find any locally. Am I over thinking this and worrying about nothing? Once the break in is done I'm a shoot it until the groups tell you to clean mindset. [/QUOTE]
