[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2745260, member: 95013"] Agree IME - stabilization is even a relative term and 200 rounds is extreme. Every barrel is different and barrel contour, material, heat, and other factors have affect on stabilization. I have had barrels shoot at 5 rounds, at 40 rounds, and sometimes up to 80 rounds; and by shoot I mean around 1/4 MOA consistently. He is getting the absolute best barrel available, hand finished and selected for him by his smith, so he can do this 5 days a week - quality control that is off the charts and somethings "us regular guys" can only hope for something close to when we buy a barrel. If they cut rifle, he can opt not to break in but again, why not if it does 3 jobs at once. I have spoken directly to multiple master smiths and been present in barrel company manufacturing floors where the bbls are made. Talked directly to the namesake barrel makers over lunch and to a person, they have all said 10-20 rounds of good break in has NO DOWN SIDE, so if it could possibly help, why not. [/QUOTE]
