use reynerson's worksheet
That name sounds familiar but I don't know what your talking about with his worksheet.
All my guns have grouped well out the box so im not doing anything extra to get it sub MOA. I make sure I dry it off and wipe it down after a hunt. Then run a bore snake through the barrel and put some oil on the metal after the season. That's the extent of my cleaning.

Posted by TrevBlows I followed the break in suggested by Browning for my XBolt.
I didn't. It shoots great!

I've never heard of such a thing.
I cleaned my weatherby after my first visit to range, but that was it. She's been shot about 12 times; all near perfect groupings when I'm not hungover, of course.

Really depends on the barrel and who makes it. Mass produced, cut-rifled barrels should really be scrubbed with solvent and good bore brush before shooting the first time and a few good cleanings after until the barrel sets in. Mass produced hammer forged barrels probably won't require much more than a few passes with a cotton patch and solvent prior to first time shoiting and less cleaning between firings. High-grade custom barrels will probably be lapped and only require what the maker states. Too many variables to really state a definitive SOP, every barrel is unique in this respect.
