BeardownAZ Report post Posted October 8, 2015 Now days barrel break in is a complete waste of time and money in my opinion. I've done it and look back thinking what a waste of ammo. And that was with a long range 308 I was shooting paper with. I think its a gimmick personally but if you think it works, do it. I mean it all seems like no one has definitive proof it does or doesn't work anyway. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
