I don't really break mine in so much for accuracy as I do for easy cleaning. While I have run no scientific tests I find a patch goes thru a rifle I 'breakin' easier than one that has not been. I've been doing it this way for about 40 years and it works for me and really costs nothing but time. As I said I have no SCIENTIFIC proof it does anything except make ME feel better.

Agree with you totally, breaking in the barrel will have several effects with the ease of cleaning being one of them. I break mine in as I described above and the ease of cleaning on them is greatly enhanced.

As to long distance competition, Xauss is dead on--the average hunter will not notice--but the target shooter will ---

I have visited with many custom barrel manufacturers, custom rifle makers, etc and they have ALL told me they believe in breaking in barrels---as that is the business they are in one would tend to believe what they say versus some slanted article in a magazine.
