[QUOTE="7magcreedmoor, post: 1092387, member: 48559"] After reading all the posts on this thread, I will say this: Break it in however you like, I am not looking to add to that argument. If you are looking for a number of shots fired the best way to answer that question is probably this- when the velocity becomes stable. When I am starting a new barrel, I shoot every shot over the chrony during break in and load development. With every barrel so far, I've seen the velocity increase a bit with the same load as the barrel becomes seasoned. When the average velocity from string to string stops increasing, then I call that barrel "broken in" and am content to create the drop card/custom turret/program the pocket calculator (whichever method you prefer for the field) and go hunting.
