[QUOTE="ShtrRdy, post: 1781408, member: 40852"] This is a touchy topic. As I understand it, break in is done mostly to burnish the cross scratches made by the reamer. Quality barrels are already lapped so the surface of the bore is very nice. However, when the chamber is cut the reamer cutting blades are moving perpendicular to the bore. As you noticed, the main benefit to performing a barrel break in, is then it will be easier to clean. [/QUOTE]
