[QUOTE="liltank, post: 576107, member: 13275"] A lot of barrels, even the aftermarket barrels need to be worked over with loaded rounds. The barrels have a tendency to have machining marks that catch copper as the bullet rotates through. Some are far worse than others, and factory barrels are the biggest abusers of copper collecting. So by breaking in the barrel, it smooths the bore making it faster, more accurate, and clean up better. It doesn't eliminate the problem entirely, but lessens the issue. Some guys swear by it, and others could care less. I am a firm believer in barrel break in. There are many different ways to do it. Some factory rifles give instructions on how to break in their barrels. Tank [/QUOTE]
