[QUOTE="Teri Anne, post: 2599665, member: 118816"] There is no real reason to have to use factory ammo to break in a barrel. I generally use hand loads loaded to moderate velocities and pressures approximating factory loads. The barrel does not know the difference between factory and hand loads unless you over pressure or the velocity is too fast causing copper fouling. If I had used factory when breaking in my 300WM it would have cost me over $600 by the time the barrel stabilized down to 1 MOA or slightly less. That is almost the cost of a pretty good rifle these days. PM me about the 215 primers. [/QUOTE]
