[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2599235, member: 121677"] I have never used factory ammo to break in an barrel, why spend the money when you don't need to? You should be able to find some Hornady Interlok or something like that for 25 cents each-ish and load those. I use the lowest cost cup and core bullets I can find. Depending on the barrel and how accurate you are trying to get you may need to shoot 100 or more to get the barrel fully broken in, only your chronograph and cleaning patches can tell you when it's done. Plus you will have 100 pieces of brass fire formed in your chamber to start the real load development. Win win in my book. [/QUOTE]
