[QUOTE="baldhunter, post: 2746320, member: 11853"] It's hard to prove either way,but the rifles I have done breaking in will shoot same point of impact from a first shot cold barrel,clean or dirty,so they don't require fouling shots to get it back into the group.There is no way I can prove it because once it's done,it's done,maybe I'm just lucky.Regardless I still hunt with a fouled bore and not a clean barrel,just something I do because I always check before I go hunting anyway.Years ago I had a rifle that would be off as much as 3" the first shot from a clean cold barrel and others that were off 1"-1.5".These rifles usually took about two shots to get them to go back into the group.I thought for a long time it was me because I always cleaned my barrels after shooting them.So for me,if taking the one time break in makes my rifle shoot the first shot clean cold barrel shoot in the group without requiring fouling shots,I'll do it.I cannot prove break in worked,but it makes me feel lucky.
