While I am asking for advice. I just purchased a new browning ss xbolt in 7mm08. What procedure should I follow as to breaking in this rifle? I plan on reloading for this rifle, any pet loads that will work well in the browning? I also have a tc encore pistol in the 7mm08.
Thank you
Ken

  I have been looking at the new 17 Caliber Fireball, and the 204 Caliber Ruger to use for coyotes and fox. Sure would like to hear a few thoughts from others, on which you think is best and why.
  
  Thanks

  Hi Ken,
  
  Nice rifle you got there.
  
  I break in all my rifles by cleaning after every shot for the first 10 shots, then after every five shot group for the next 20 shots. I always clean breech to muzzle, and never pull the rod backwards. I use Shooters Choice solvent, and let it set for about 5 minutes before dry swabbing, and repeat it untill no blue/green(copper), comes out with the patch.
  
  As far as loads go, you will have to find which ones work the best for you, and it all depends on what you are going to use it for. That is part of the fun of a new rifle.
  
  Best
