Howa 1500 Varmint with some nightforce 22x56 scope.
Currently locked down in the UK and itching to get it warm!
Any break in procedure recommendations? I was gonna shoot 5, cool off, clean the bore. Shoot 10, clean the bore, then call it good to go.

Heh, you will get 100 opinions on break-in.
Shoot that thing. Buy more ammo. Repeat.

Personal preference for cleaning.
Make sure bolt is greased.
I give my kit a thorough initial clean, then after that, a field clean as required.
Enjoy!

I knew I forgot something important - 6.5 creedmoor. This is my second rifle and first precision/long-er range rifle. First one was more of a hunting 308 and I'm interested in the difference in performance, particularly after 500 yards.
Some will argue that there is only marginal differences between. 308 and 6.5 Creedmoor.
Not so.
Especially when using lighter pills in the Creedmoor.
You'll love it.
