[QUOTE="Eaglet, post: 102136, member: 3756"] [ QUOTE ] Actually, what Gale McMillian said was that he thought that "barrel break-in" was a waste of time on a well made barrel. His philosophy was that ANY barrel had "X" number of accurate repeatable shots in it and breaking it in only served to use some of them up! He also abhored the idea of JB's Bore Paste and wouldn't warranty any of his barrels that it was used in. So, he had his own opinions and so does every one else. <font color="blue">[b]Whatever you think is right for you, is right for you![/b] </font> It's as simple as that.
