Is barrel break-in really needed for factory guns?

[QUOTE="Skinny Shooter, post: 59401, member: 716"] Hi Matt, welcome to Long Range Hunting and thanks for joining in. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] Why do you feel the need to run abrasives through the barrel after 75 rounds? Are there some issues with the rifle? The lower barrel pressures seems to indicate that the bore diameter will be increased because of it and that bothers me a bit. I have a TC 14" 223 with a bit over-sized bore from the factory. It only shoots flat-based bullets well. It was purchased new. If you haven't shot it yet, take it the range a few times before doing anything that is irreversible. Not knowing Dave Tubb personally, I'd have to wonder if he actually does that to every one of his rifles. [/QUOTE]
