[QUOTE="3800fps, post: 2746816, member: 42309"] I mentioned that I I’ve owned at least 60 barrels (various guns and rebarrels)…some of them, long ago I “broke-in” shoot-clean-repeat. Either a barrel shot well or it shot mediocre…right from the start. Every premium barrel shot exceptionally well and cleaned easily. ”Factory“ barrels with the drill scars visible shot well too…fouled terribly and tedious to clean. Shot well means 1/2-3/4 moa regularly…exceptionally well means 1/2moa with 1/4moa groups The rare moa and over moa gun always had a mismachining issue with a cocked chamber, throat or crown… Breaking-in isn’t going to accomplish anything that just-shoot-it won’t do. Meticulous brass preparation and maintenance, and laboratory quality loading techniques is where the fine accuracy gains are made…it’s a little bit of work. [/QUOTE]
