[QUOTE="scrmblr1982cj8, post: 1127600, member: 69799"] Sounds like quite a rig! I've only got one custom rifle, and I bought it used so I cannot comment on the process used on it. I've read a dozens of articles and threads on barrel break in. I'm not sure you will find a consistent opinion regarding barrel break in. Some will say that you need a few hundred rounds to break in barrels. Other will say shoot normally since a few hundred rounds of break (caliber dependent) in is nothing other than a way of selling more barrels since you just used 10% or more of your barrel life getting it ready. Unless the barrel maker gave specific recommendations regarding break in, I would not put hundreds of rounds down range to break in a barrel. A .338 LM uses a burns a lot of powder per shot, so I would not want to waste any rounds on the break in process. [/QUOTE]
