I' ve read " experts" tell about various break-in procedures, but I' ve also read " experts" that swear breakin procedures are just wearing out your barrel.

I' ve tried various methods over the years, but I no longer use any break-in methods. I think in general most folks end up doing more damage than good, especially with cleaning rods. I' ve also heard some real horror stories about fire lapping methods.

I' m not going to argue with anyone either way. I' m just giving you my opinion.
