[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1781623, member: 2736"] You will never get a unanimous consensus on brake In so everyone just has to satisfy/convince them selves as to whether they brake a barrel in or not. I am one of those people that do break in ALL new barrels regardless of what brand they are and how they were made. I have proven to my self and many others the benefit of break in through testing, not on hearsay. I cant change others minds and don't try if they are not doing any testing. Shooting a good group just doesn't tell you anything as far as I am concerned, It just tells you what the rifle will do at the time and not the real potential of the barrel is. I have found that doing a break in in the beginning allows you to start with the true potential of the barrel. Not doing a break in allows a barrel to change between rounds fired and consistency is hard to find until the barrel has many rounds down it. Doing a break in also tells you what kind of quality you have because the brake in improves faster the better the barrel quality and takes longer the poorer it is. doing a proper break in doesn't wear out a barrel or shorten barrel life. Shooting hundreds of rounds trying to find an accurate load does. If a barrel is good quality, it will normally take no more than 10 to 20 rounds to get properly broke in. After testing many barrels that were not broke in and many that were, (Several hundred of both) the choice is clear to me and I Won't build another rifle that doesn't get broke in. It is a pain to do, but well worth the effort in my opinion. Len posted on this subject and if everyone reads the entire post I think they will see the benefits of break in and decide whether or not to do break in.
