[QUOTE="Loner, post: 442234, member: 24560"] Don't fire lap your barrel , not now and hopefully not ever. It's for rough barrels that don't shoot or clean well and is used as a last resort by most. Your barrel is good for maybe 4000 rounds, so 200 to 500 to break it in is a bunch. Bartlein Barrels website has a great article on break in that agrees closely with Krieger's. I like forster dies. Until you've read and reloaded enough to understand the concept of seating the bullet near the lands don't worry about throat gauging. If you are lucky your gun will shoot a variety of loads well and you won't ever have to deal with it. Certain bullets seem to be temperamental as to how far of a jump they like to the lands. Neck turning is another facet of reloading best left for the future. One of those things you may never do. It makes the neck brass the same thickness which makes the tension on the bullet more consistent. It will make more accurate ammo but your time will be better spent shooting and working up loads that shoot well with some forgiveness in the process. There are known loads that shoot well in many popular rifles. Federal Gold Medal Match 308 shoots well in most 308 rifles as a for instance. Google your rifle model and loads for it. Fries are bad for your heart, caffeine is bad for your groups, laying off the coke and coffee can do more for your shooting than hours of case prep at the reloading bench. [/QUOTE]
