[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1782378, member: 2736"] I can't argue with that . But as I have said I only have to convince my self that something works or doesn't. I read many post that the person doesn't do a break in, and is very happy with there accuracy. I am Not happy with 1 MOA and At one time I was. Back then I didn't even know what break in was and for sure didn't understand why anyone would bother. Once I began chasing the accuracy potential, I learned that there were many accuracy procedures that I did not practice that could help improve the accuracy of my weapons. Once I tried many of them and tested to prove one way or the other, I found many things that would help. Breaking in a barrel is just one of them and shooting a barrel for 50 to 100 rounds and deciding to clean back to bright metal and doing a brake in proved to me that it was worthwhile. Now my starting point for accuracy is 1/2 MOA or less and my goal is sub 1/10th MOA. This is not easy and is not always possible but I have to try. On a lighter note, If I owned a company like krieger, I would never break in a barrel. I would have someone do it for me.:) So I could just go shoot and enjoy. If I was the only one left in the world that did break in, I would continue to do so because I have seen the results and measured the benefits. Shooting groups is not a good way to evaluate accuracy results unless you have many groups to average the results because of the human factor. We never shoot exactly the same so it takes a history to validate any real results. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
