[QUOTE="jakelly, post: 789693, member: 26850"] Barrel break in for a custom lapped barrel is a mythical creation designed to shorten barrel life. One of the Mcmillans had some great comments about the idea's origin and challenged the mechanical benefit to the barrel from "break-in". His thoughts were that a barrel was most accurate on the first shot and every shot after that was a degradation. FWIW those boys did shoot the smallest group in history, some maintain it was a zero, officially scored as .009. Factory barrels and custom barrels are very different physically and mechanically. You should never have to break-in a lapped custom barrel. [/QUOTE]
