[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 789458, member: 11717"] The reason for barrel break-in is to condition the throat and bore for less fouling... not to improve accuracy. If someone doesn't know how to properly cleaning their chamber and bore without causing damage, then it won't matter if they break-in their barrel or not... they will eventually ruin their bore anyway. A lot of guys have successfully broke-in a lot of barrels without ruining them. Most competition shooters break their barrels in and do so without ruing them. Breaking in a barrel does not ruin it. Improper cleaning techniques can. You should have less overall cleaning to a properly broke-in barrel then one that's broke-in. Less fouling and longer shot strings between cleanings. [/QUOTE]
