[QUOTE="Broz, post: 585161, member: 7503"] Well one thing we can agree on is , you can't have it both ways. This is why I stated " I [B]feel[/B] they shoot better" You can't hardly test the same barrel both ways. The fact is some I didnt break in didn't shoot as well. But who can realy say why? You only get one chance to break them in while they are new. I did buy a used rifle once that shot pooly. It was a factory barreled rifle. I cleaned the heck out of it and that helped, but not much. So I cleaned it again and run it through a long break in proceedure. It shot pretty good for a factory rifle after that. Maybe this was a fluke?? But this is how we all come to what we believe and not just follow what we read others say. It is a personal choice, but what can it hurt?? I don't buy what Gail said about a 300 wins life is only 1000 rounds. Heck, I have seen 30-378's with more round that that and still shoot good. Maybe if he broke in his rifles he would get more rounds out of them LOL, (that is just a joke) :D Take it easy and you be safe too. Jeff [/QUOTE]
