[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 974187, member: 1521"] The real function in break-in is to remove machined edges left by chambering. This takes relatively few shots. The high points in rough/factory barrels? No tellin how many shots will hammer them to insignificance. That's not break-in to any procedure, but a matter to endure for maybe ~a couple hundred shots. Either way conservative fire-lapping speeds the process. Tubb's FF leaves a surface profile matching the best in hand lapping, and it can greatly reduce copper fouling in rough/factory barrels. Here, FF can take the ~couple hundred down to ~30 without hurting a thing. Good thing to do right before having a barrel melonite treated. [/QUOTE]
