[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 1791445, member: 2736"] Most Hunters feel this way and the cold bore shot is the most important one. What Barrel break in does is to make the bore more uniform/consistent end to end and we all know what consistency does for us. Knowing what condition your barrel will perform at it's best is paramount for consistent/repeatable cold bore shots. If it shoots its best fouled, that's the way you should hunt with it. My only problem with this for cold bore shots is that fouling is constantly changing and there fore not as predictable as a clean bore every time . There is a heck of a lot I still have to learn, but hearsay and perceived hasn't helped, Only testing and record keeping have proven anything as far as I am concerned. Opinions are just that Opinions and proof comes from experience and testing so the ones that believe brake in is not necessary and doesn't show any positive results, I'm Glad for them and there beliefs. But when Brake in improves velocity by near 100 ft/sec during brake in , it must be doing something good to allow the bullet to speed up that much. It may be that the barrel will eventually speed up/ increase in velocity buy that much, but in the meantime you are dealing with that Increase continually. So for the cold bore shooter, Brake in is what "I" recommend. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
