[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2654654, member: 313"] I will usually do an abbreviated break in on a custom match grade barrel. One shot and clean for 5 rounds. Then 3 shots and clean for 15 rounds. After that I'm working up loads and monitoring velocity. There are too many different opinions from "people in the know", including barrel manufacturers, for me to come to any definitive opinion on barrel break in. Some don't even recommend it at all and claim that it's just a waste of barrel life. I figure that an abbreviated break in can't hurt and "may" help. [/QUOTE]
