[QUOTE="lancetkenyon, post: 2599475, member: 68875"] I never use factory ammo to "break in" a barrel either. Unless you buy 5 boxes of the same lot (100pcs so you can reuse the brass), it is all wasted money in my opinion. I would rather buy 100pcs of virgin brass and good components of my choice, and roll my own. Even a moderately skilled handloader will put out higher quality and more consistent ammo than 95% of factory offerings. Plus, you will probably get a good final load before you even fire the first 100 rounds that only need minor tweaking (if that is even needed) with fired brass. [/QUOTE]
