Bought a DPMS LR-308 and the 'break-in' schedule per owners manual seems lengthy.
"To achieve the best results for accuracy you should clean the chamber and bore after every round for the first 25 rounds and then every 10 rounds up to 100 rounds. It usually takes about 200 rounds per barrel for optimum accuracy."
I'll follow the manufactures instructions but curious as to what this procedure 'technically' does for the barrel. My thoughts are that you're 'wearing' the new barrel in and don't want dirt to interfere with the process. But clean after every round for the first 25 shots?
On a side note. I cleaned/inspected the new rifle before first shot. Fired. FTE. Thoroughly cleaned/inspected again. Fired. FTE. Cleaned/inspected. Fired. FTE. Boxed it up and sent back to DPMS. They quickly repaired, sent it back. Ready for round number four.:banghead:
