Notice the title, it says how do "you" break in a new rifle?
I have heard of people using a bore brush after every round until they get 20+ rounds through the rifle.
Some people will not get the barrel hot the first day out with the rifle. They will fire a few rounds, let the rifle cool off, fire a few rounds, cool off.......
Some people have these rituals of how they "break in" a new rifle. So, if you have something that you do please share it with us.
Personally, I dont have a "ritual." I'll go out to the range, fire off a box or two and go home.
