Gunsmithing barrel breakin

Re: barrel breakin

i have never done a barrel break in. all of my rifles shoot just fine. and i guess i never did it cuz im lazy, and just want to shoot. oh well, whatever you wanna do with your barrel is up to you.
 
Re: barrel breakin

I've only tried "breaking in" one rifle so far. Now all I have to do is get another 5000 rounds shoot through it to tell if it was worth the trouble.

In order to really tell if it makes a difference a person would have to start with 2 rifles, break-in one but not the other, keep the round count exactly the same until there was a very obvious difference in the group size. More trouble than most of us would be willing to go to.

Re: barrel breakin

but even if you did that, with the two rifle thing, theres no real definite answer. no two rifles are going to shoot the same. but its all up to you. do what pleases you.

On SOME things we just agree to disagree... It takes all kinds and all opinions. Do what makes you feel good.

Agreed.

I try to do what makes me feel good but I keep getting interrupted.
