[QUOTE="3800fps, post: 1701756, member: 42309"] Part of the break-in method mythology that I've garnered is that "if not broken in properly your barrel's gilt edge potential is fore ever lost." The "modern" day benchresters (Shillen, Hart, Warren Page etc) may have started this break-in thing as spoof or wives tale knowledge from the Harry Pope days. These bench guys thought some barrels simply just shot better than others (hummer barrel) and no amount of breaking in could make a barrel into a hummer...it was or it wasn't. That's been my experience also... [/QUOTE]
