Default RE: Break-In Proceedure for new rifle?

ARBowHntr, lol, 32 it would be a real long day the other way. Especially if your shooting anything bigger than a 30-30. I" ll usually use cheap factory loads to get the barrel broke in, though like others have said I also question the necessity of a break in but I figure it can' t hurt either. Once the scope is zeroed usually in the first 12 -17 rds, then shoot a few more groups and clean after the range session. Then I start working up an accurate load, not necessarily the fastest it' s been said " did that groundhog know how fast that bullet was that missed."
