In my quest for knowledge regarding precision long range shooting and precision long range gun information I have read many many articles regarding barrel break in. I for one, was a huge proponent of proper barrel break in. But the more data I gather and the more discussions I have with folks who no more than I, I have succumbed to the inevitable. My new opinion is that barrel break in is not necessary and more or less a waste of time and money (and barrel life).
I would love to hear opinions from others. I recently changed my mind regarding break in and may even have some posts on this forum contradicting my current opinion. Maybe I am a slow learner.
The rifle I am currently building will incur no break in. So be it...
Below is a great barrel break in article written by Gale McMillan. There are many but this article is a bit crass and raw and let's face it, Gale is considered by many to be an accuracy and barrel pioneer.
Again, what are your thoughts?
