I like to run some heavy oil thru the barrel, and let it sit, overnight, after a thorough cleaning, while the barrel is new, before firing.
This gets any goobers, metal shavings, or preservatives from the factory out of the barrel, and lays in a coating of oil between the barrel and soot, before first firing. First day out, run a swab of oil on the new barrel every couple shots. Then clean normally,
at the end of the shoot, in the evening.
Then it's good to go.
