moly only new barrel break in proceedure??

[Ogre6br]

Hi

How did you do the barrel breaking in for a new S/S barrel that's going to be a moly only barrel-- with moly bullets??
Was it still shoot one clean, x10 shoot 3 clean x10 or is if different with moly?

Considering shooting moly only in the 6 BR I'm having built and am wondering how to break in the barrel.

How do you know when a moly shot barrel is clean??

thanks

later

For a new barrel:

1. Fire one shot using a moly bullet then clean using moly cleaning procedure
2. Repeat Step 1 five times
3. Fire three shots using moly bullets then clean using moly cleaning procedure
4. Repeat Step 3 five times.

You will have a very, very hard time breaking in a new barrel using moly coated bullets.
You need to do the break in with a bare bullet, and then go to the moly coated bullets.
