    Breaking in a barrel

    Hi everyone, looking for some advice for breaking in a barrel, a Google search gets all kinds of responses so seems very personal choice

    When I got my 7mm08, I cleaned the barrel every round for the first 5, then every 5th round after that probably for my first 20 rounds through it, accuracy is decent and now been 80 plus rounds through it

    I picked up a Bergara BA13 yesterday in .308 so thinking about breaking that in soon

    Just after opinions on what you all think as there will probably be many preferences

    Thank you in advance
