I also cheated with the breakin
Lubed it up and ran 300 FMJs followed by 200 Federal HST JHPs straight up.
Had one early fail to return to battery (FMJ) and that's it
Cool thing about my V-Bob is I could field strip it with my bare hands right out of the box!
Enjoy your DW
V-Bob with a Tripp Cobra 10 round mag -
I am the OP. My manual also listed and approves the use of Mil-Tec Tw25b grease, which I have been using on the rails. The manual also approves and recommends the use of Kroil as a bore cleaner solvent. I've never used that, so I ordered some and will give it a try. I will be doing phase II of the break-in this Sunday, and based on how well the first session went, I will probably cheat and go 100 rounds instead of 50 before cleaning again, maybe even try a mag or 2 of carry ammo (230 gr. Gold Dot JHP and 185 gr. Critical Defense). I will report after the range session.
