Hey maestros,
I have been casually browsing this forum for quite some time, becoming more interested in pushing rifle shooting to another level. I've been shooting for awhile, plus had a little training from Uncle Sam, and have finally stepped into a dedicated stick for my money launching pursuit of making that bullet land somewhere in the viscinity of where I want at an extended range.
The rifle is a stock Rem 700 Tac 308, with one piece coated rod, .30 cal jag and brass brush, as well as a boresnake. With my other firearms, I'd do the thing, and then drag a boresnake through until no more residue or powder would come through.
So my question is, in your experience, what is the prefered way of new barrel break-in and shooting maintenance for a dedicated precision rifle?
