[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 480126, member: 11717"] Ken, not answering for Hammertyme, but I'll chime in. I spoke with Tim North (Broughton Barrels) who is making me a 30 cal and 6.5. He said the barrels should be shot before treating. He recommended about 30 rounds and my smith said about the same thing. Tim knows Joel Kendricks (the guy in the video) and the best person to talk to about this would be Joel. His number is in the Accurate Shooter article I posted earleir. I'll be giving him a call this week. Bottom line is, when this is done, you have permanantly fixed your barrel and bore in the conditon in which it was treated. You can't do anymore smithing to it and any roughness that might be in the bore is now permanant. My plan is to do my usual one shot and clean break-in with low charged E-Tip monmetal bullets. I'm guessing it'll be done in 5-10 rounds, maybe less. Then I'll work up a max load and fire a 3-5 shot baseline group for accuracy with both E-Tips and my primary GS bullets. [/QUOTE]
