[QUOTE="4xforfun, post: 584956, member: 9172"] I can tell you ...for a fact that breaking in a bbl is effective. Now...what does it do? Well, good question. Does it increase accuracy? I have no idea, because that there is no way to test. You can't UN- break in a tube to re test. And all bbls are different, even tubes from the same mfgr..in the same caliber...from the same lot of steal, chambered by the same smith and reamer, shooting the same lot of brass, bullets, and primers....ect. Does it increase tube life? I have no Idea...you can't shoot out a tube and retest....see above. But, what it has done for me...with every factory and custom tube I have had for the last twelveteen years....is make the bbl clean up faster and easier, with less copper fowling. Will it extend the number of accurate shots between cleaning? Well, I am the wrong guy to ask, as I am a CLEAN FREAK and clean WAY to often. But when I clean a tube that I have broken in, the cleanup is fairly strait forward, quick and simple. Before I got into SERIOUS LR benchrest, and before I started breaking in bbls the cleaning process sometimes took DAYS. But the phrase "the whole barrel break in crap" is...well CRAP.:D And you have no evedence that there is no evedence. [/QUOTE]
