Barrel maintenance

What I do is use the accelerator until patches come out somewhat clean then use wipe out. No point in putting solvent over a bunch of carbon.

is this the same as the foam version except it is applied with a patch?

Yes.
Just got my wipeout and accelerator from north pro sports
Combined to my dewey kit, i just gave the factory unshot by me barrel a try
Quite the sweet setup, the acceleretor will be nice to speed things up during break in soon

A way to sell more barrels.
I have also read that break ins we're fairy tales.
Also read that more a barrel was of match quality, the less break in was needed.
So with this 2nd logic, a 10TR is about as rough a precision rifle can be, can't hurt it
And 308 is good for what 8000 rounds?
On a 1000 rounds magnum barrel burner, the 100 or so first rounds can represent 10% of barrel and definately gets more barrels out the door. I plan to do maybe a 50 rounds break in, not even a percent of barrel life.
So worst case scenario, my first outing with it will just be one huge waste of time

8000 rounds might be a bit optimistic if you shoot any matches. Don't get it hot and might last that long.

After use of Wipeout accelerator and Wipeout using a bore guide, there is still a possible issue of a buildup in the throat area of carbon that can impact accuracy. Every 200 rounds I polish the troat area with JB on a patch rolld onto a bronze brush then soak it in a paste of jb and gun oil then work the three or so inches where the carbon ring would be.
Fixed a lot of rifles for shooters that did not know this after their accuracy dropped off even though they had been cleaning ther bore as mentioned by others abovein this thread.
