[QUOTE="Jeff In TX, post: 174450, member: 1522"] This subject gets as touchy as politics and religion. Even the top barrel makers can’t agree on the subject. If you really want to know the true forensics of what happens when you pull the trigger and the round goes off and the bullet enters and exits the barrel give Mike Rock a call at Rock Creek barrels. Mike is one of a handful of individuals in the country who is truly qualified to answer and explain what really happens when the gun goes bang and why barrel breakin is total crock. Before opening your mouth and start disputing what I have to say without anything but I think it works this way or this process always works for me, talk to someone who number one is one of the top barrel manufactures in the country. Has a degree in metallurgy and worked the at US Army Aberdeen Proving grounds where they did extensive small arms forensics on ballistics and barrels. At Aberdeen they used high speed bore video’s, pressure gauges as well as thermal imaging and computers to analyze any and everything that happens when the firing pin hits the primer and the round goes off. They also dissected hundreds of barrels to verify there results. After all the testing the US Army and Marine Corp concluded that the barrel break in process was a waist of time. The testing was done on barrels destine for tactical weapons and not the every day grunts weapon. So if you really want to learn about ballistics and barrel forensic stop guessing and ask someone who is truly qualified. I can’t tell you the countless number of hours I’ve spent on the phone with Mike learning as much as I can. [/QUOTE]
