[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 422238, member: 2736"] Why would you get flamed for not breaking in your rifle ? The 17 HMR was designed to shoot "A LOT" and are one of the most fun rifles to have. I like them so well I have built myself and a friend several custom rifles on Anschutz actions and they are impressive to say the least. I broke mine in because of the velocity(2500+ ft/sec) and whether it helped accuracy or not is hard to tell all of the Lilja barreled 17s will shoot 10 rounds @ 100 yards well under 1/2 MOA all day long. Bur they do shoot higher velocities than the factory ammo advertise (They Average 2574 ft/sec ) But that could be the great barrels that Lilja makes. I recently bought a Weatherby MK XX11 in 17 HMR and I'm tempted to try shooting it without breaking it in and after I get an accuracy and velocity average Clean it back to bare metal and do a shoot and clean break in and see if it makes any difference in velocity and accuracy. I know it has made a difference on the big bores that I came back and broke in later. Again ; just my opinion. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
