[QUOTE="Roninco, post: 2492666, member: 114195"] Many opinions on weather barrel break-in is necessary. Some opinions differentiate between factory or custom barrels. Even barrel manufactures debate the issue. Bottom line is it may or may not be beneficial. Perhaps use your first one-hour range period to shoot several three round groups. Don't clean between groups and do not let the barrel get hot. The first one or two groups will foul the barrel. If after that the groups begin to get smaller, then probably no need for a time and ammo consuming break-in. If the groups stay large a break-in may help or the gun does not like the ammo you are shooting. Tip: use an appropriately size chamber guide when cleaning your new rifle. [/QUOTE]
