[QUOTE="paphil, post: 585238, member: 17745"] Velocity changes with break in. the velocity will decrease by up to 100 fps in some rifles once the break in is done. On custom lapped barrels, not as much, the lapping is doing the same as the break in. If you don't shoot drop data for charts or turrets, and don't shoot long range, it probably doesn't matter other than cleaning easier but it never hurts to know how to clean a barrel . Use a chronograph some time and see how much velocity will change. [/QUOTE]
