[QUOTE="Outlaw6.0, post: 2655068, member: 23486"] I've never "properly" broken a barrel in in my life. Then again, I won't go out and run 100 rounds thru a new bore either. My first range session is normally getting a rough zero for the optic & testing a few loads. 20-25 rounds. Go home & clean it until I have no more copper or carbon residue. Head back to the range. They all shoot better than I do 🤷♂️ Will "break-in" hurt anything? It can, if using improper cleaning procedures. Then again, I would certainly hope those concerned with "break-in" understand how badly they can damage their bore by cleaning it incorrectly. I have definitely noticed a new bore does foul quicker than a seasoned bore. Which is why I limit my initial range session. So, in summary. I believe a properly conducted "Break-in" isn't counterintuitive by any means. Perhaps, just a bit excessive IMHO. If it brings the shooter a piece of mind, rock your process of choice all-day-long. t [/QUOTE]
