[QUOTE="Ray Gross, post: 2658882, member: 95172"] A crappy barrel may benefit from some work to clear out the tight/rough spots and a chamber done with a worn reamer may benefit by cleaning the burrs out of the throat, but there is no good reason to 'break in' a good quality barrel, chambered by a competent gunsmith. The barrel may wear in and speed up after 50-200 rounds fired, but that doesn't require any breaking in either, it just happens. Use those early rounds for preliminary load testing and zeroes.
