[QUOTE="devildoc, post: 174498, member: 5615"] The cleaning process doesn't remove the burrs, however the bullet going down a bare bore does. That's why we clean between shots, so the bullet contacts the bare bore instead of just the fouling left from previous shots. I'm surprised that you are so adamant about something that you have no proof to support, and yet you attack everybody else for not having data al-la Aberdeen testing grounds that you don't have either, though you claim it exists. And as a guy with an extensive science background, I can tell you that that doesn't cut the mustard. If you intend to contradict the accepted knowledge of the day it is you sir that must bear the burden of proof. That's the way it has always worked. It is true that JB will void some custom barrels warrantee, it is a mild abrasive and some custom makers don't want you messin' with their hand lapping job. And if you have one of those barrels, don't use JB. There are also some makers that recommend it, there are also alot of us that use it as a lapping agent on factory barrels that haven't had the benefit of professional hand lapping. There are a ton of different break-in techniques advocated by lots of different people. Most of the competitive shooting world uses one of them, if you have some real proof that it's a waste of time I'd be happy to listen. But If you're gonna start screaming that what the rest of the rifle community is doing is stupid and they don't know what they're talking about, it might behoove you to have a little more backup than what one barrel maker told you over the phone.
