[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1384316, member: 30671"] I think it's over doing it, but from a warranty standpoint it may be useful. I haven't had as many new barrels as some, but even in quality barrels there can be variations in how much break in is needed, and that seems to have changed over time. I think it starts by asking: 1) What the goal of "break in" is. 2) I think the variables in cartridge, caliber, and bullet have a bigger role in the process than what we see in good quality barrels. 3) How we plan on using the rifle. 4) What cleaning theory we subscribe to, and how we plan to clean the rifle in the future. There are folks literally not cleaning until accuracy suffers, hundreds, even thousands of rounds, believing cleaning is more hazardous to bore life. 5) Your cleaning process. 6) Bullet/barrel coatings. I was weaned on surplus corrosive military ammunition, and it took me a long time to let go of those habits. [/QUOTE]
