[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1123185, member: 30671"] I haven't owned enough new barrels to have strong feelings about what "works best". I would say do whatever the manufacturer, and gunsmith recommend. I think that's just part of the contract you've entered into. It's tough for to me imagine the better quality barrels needing much more than a best quality reamer, and a good cleaning prior to the first round ensuring anything left from the manufacturing is gone. I haven't seen any documentation that indicates breaking in a barrel will get you 0.5" accuracy, and not doing it makes chasing 1" a challenge. Or anything along those lines. [/QUOTE]
