If you're talking hunting accuracy, I'd have to agree with you. The average hunter can't hold well enough to take advantage of the edge in accuracy the elaborate break-in procedure gives.

On the other hand, my late gunsmith, who built many of the rifles used by the US Palma teams in competition, definitely knew what he was talking about in other aspects of accuracy, and I choose to believe him in this one as well. (For those unfamiliar with the Palma Match, it is an international competition shot with iron sights at ranges of 800, 900 and 1000 yards, using the .308 cartridge of the host country's choice.)

Shooting a 200-12X with iron sights at 600 yards with a barrel with more than 5000 rounds through it convinced me that his directions were worth following. (This means that all 20 of my shots were in the 12" "10" ring and 12 of them were within the 6" "X" ring.)
