[QUOTE="magna19, post: 3067084, member: 24646"] JMO, I think that the (one shot/clean/one shot) method may benefit commercial barrels. Commercial barrels are rough compared to high quality barrels. With any new commercial produced barrel the ability to polish/smooth/deburr/ any imperfections in the rifling before any copper gets embedded anywhere can be done easier when new. So whether it helps or not, with proper bore guide protection it can be done much easier when its new. I don't have enough experience other than the several Ive done the (one shot/clean/one shot) method with. No way to tell for sure if mine are more accurate or consistent from it. One thing I can for sure say is that those that got the one shot method for 20 shots then 5 shots then 3 shots are much easier to clean. One commercial barrel in particular was a Marlin XS7 in 243 Win that when I first cleaned it before shooting, the barrel was like it had fired a couple boxes. So when I cleaned it after first shot break-in procedure it was like cleaning a barrel that had been shot couple boxes again, this went on for several shots and then got easier to get clean at the end of the break-in procedure. This Marlin is the only gun i have that has not benefited much from hand loading. It does 100 yd. 3 shot with cold barrel in the .3-.5 range often with factory Win 243 100 gr load. [/QUOTE]
