[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 184380, member: 2736"] [b]Barrel breakin[/b] JP If barrel breakin was not nessary for the over all performance then barrel makers like Lilja and shillen would not recomend that you do it. Like all other questions asked about brass,bullets,powder, calibre,make of weapon, action ,ETC. there will always be opposing sides to any question( this is good because it makes you think outside of the box ). And depending on what your trying to achieve breakin may not be nessary on a lapped stainless barrel (the lapping removes tool marks and improves/minimizes fouling.) I have seen barrels that took close to 100rds to finally shoot in that were not broke in first and they required lots of cleaning to remove fouling. The method that works for me is shoot 20rds cleaning between each round fired ( when you do this it requires less brushing and removes the carbon so the next round is fired in a clean bore reducing the amount of ware to the bore). And yes EVERY shot reduces barrel life but (I) believe that a clean cool barrel reduces ware increasing barrel life. So you be the judge as to whether you breakin or not. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
