My barrel break in procedure is as follows. 25 rounds of jacketed ammo. Check bore. If bore is a wreck clean it. If not fire another 25 rounds through it. Then clean the bore. After cleaning fire 25 rounds of jacketed ammo, check bore, if bore is a wreck clean it, if not fire another 25 rounds though it then clean it. Most calibers 100 rounds is more than enough to break it in, HOWEVER on thin walled standard hunting barrels do this slowly (IE it typically takes me 2-3 days of patient slow shooting) to keep from overheating the barrel has you do it. In some 22s it has taken me 200 rounds to shoot then in, and in one 38 special it took me 250-300 rounds before the gun started to behave, however this gun had a VERY rough throat when it was purchased new.

"The gun has been called the great equalizer, meaning that a small person with a gun is equal to a large person, but it is a great equalizer in another way, too. It insures that the people are the equal of their government whenever that government forgets that it is servant and not master of the governed." - 40th President of the United States Ronald Reagan 1911-2004
