[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 1701892, member: 11853"] I don't know maybe it's just me,but the rifles I do a recommended barrel break-in seem to not require fouling shots after cleaning the rifle to stay in the group.They seem to shoot that first shot on target from a clean cold barrel as well as they do from a cold fouled barrel.I still keep a fouled barrel when hunting,but it is just something I've noticed.I remember one rifle I had years ago that I know I didn't break-in properly.That thing would always be off 2-3" the first couple of shots after cleaning.I know it's a PITA taking the time to break one in,but it might be worth it I guess.Sure doesn't seem to hurt it.
