[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 2475835, member: 61747"] So back before I knew break in was a thing I have several rifles that never went through that process. 1 is a model 700 bdl in 3006 I got 40 years ago. About 10 years ago I decided to use it for long range hunting for wolves. Prior that I’d only zeroed and 100. It shot great. So I set up the rifle with a 300 yard group and zero, and it shot 1.5” groups. I shot 500 and got 2.5” groups. Now today, I do break in my barrels but a properly hand lapped custom barrel sure doesn’t take much to break in and copper fouling is extremely light. The main issue is getting the barrel seasoned and settling in for the velocity. [/QUOTE]
