[QUOTE="Mike 338, post: 1701582, member: 41338"] I generally do some type of break-in. I generally don't spend an entire afternoon doing it though. You can bundle some of your load development into the break-in. One of the first things on a new load you want to find out is your maximum powder charge. You can chronograph each shot/clean as you increase your charges. You don't even need to shoot at a target for this although again, there's no sense in not getting it on paper while your breaking in your barrel. [/QUOTE]
