Barrel Break in Procedure- Gale McMillan

Re: Barrel Break in Procedure- Gale McMillan

Culpepper,
I was trying to distill your vague statement of staying in an 8" circle all day long" into some quantifyable feat. I explained a few of the things that could cause a shot to go out. Wind would be the first. I would not accept your challange. Ifyou tried to keep your best stick in an 8" circle for 1500 shots in one day, you would fail as well. If you think not, I will buy the ammo and supply the range. You bring the cash to back up your statement. I'll put mine in a box beside it. If and when a bullet goes out I will pick it up and walk off. Make sure to bet alot more than the ammo cost. Bluntly, not looking for advice from a person who makes vague, not factual statements, any more than I would seat my bullets to "about 2.8". If you had said 9 shots, 87 shots, constant fire for 37 consective minutes at a rate of 4 rounds per minute, I might have bought it. "ALL DAY LONG". Bullshit! Limit yourself to facts and you might want to hold the advice until you learn to do so.

I wouldn't be caught dead on a range with you. You don't pay attention. Or rather you pay attention to all the wrong things. So, not be be vague any longer I was trying to politely advise you to practice what you suck at, which I think has already been advised in as much words. So, take out your calculator and figure out statistically how many practice shots it takes to practice what you suck at. If you figured out 1500 than you might be smarter than a 5th grader. I realize there is a good possibility that you may be anal-compulsive, not that there is anything wrong with that, other than you can depress the shit out of the shooter next to you at any given public range. It is unhealthy to be around a pessimist shooter. Remember that, kids.

Re: Barrel Break in Procedure- Gale McMillan

Personally, I like the snake for cleaning after a day of shooting, regardless if the barrel new or not...

And best point I have read is if a break-in cleaning procedure is going to get rid of those burrs that hurt accuracy, just think what alse part of the barrel the cleaning is hurtin that is not bad...

Re: Barrel Break in Procedure- Gale McMillan

The McMillan piece mentioned people starting to break-in pistol barrels. Wil Schueman makes some of the best pistol barrels and his comments on cleaning are more in line with those like McMillan, stating that the cleaning done will often times lead to wearing out the barrel faster.

Quite frankly with most of mine guns I clean when I feel it needs it, which may be 200 on one gun, 1000 on another or whatever it may be for that gun.
