[QUOTE="Mikecr, post: 135353, member: 1521"] Barrel life comes down to heat exposure, not wear. Why do you think it's better to break in with MORE shooting? I use FF even on custom barrels for break in, with no movement of the lands. 10rnds stabilizes things, and a followup with a single FF round every 50 or so(just to dress up the lands). There is also the possibility of lapping in a slight taper, which is good for accuracy. I've never seen a barrel shoot worse, or lose life due to FF use. Usually barrels shoot better after treatment.
