[QUOTE="HARPERC, post: 1313176, member: 30671"] I probably haven't owned enough new barrels for a meaningful opinion, but I've had 2 barrels in 40 years (before break in got popular) that I think may have benefitted from a break in. A Krieger and a Shilen, both seemed to take longer to settle down than the others I've owned. The 6mm I was getting a bit nervous with, but between 150-200 rounds it started to hum. The .338 took 75-100, but has been good since. I clean them before the my first range trip, and see what happens with the first 3-5 rounds. Here's where I sort out the does, and don't's. If it meets my expectations I don't worry about it much. If it comes up short, then I look a little closer. I'm not a bench rest shooter, and don't have the same needs. My varmint rifles I ask more than I do from a big game rifle. [/QUOTE]
