    Just shoot it. After a few hundred rounds it will be broken in.

    many opinions, few facts. do a search. it comes up all the time.

    some people will tell you you're crazy not to break it in. other will say its a waste of time, ammo, cleaning supplies and effort. the problem is there isnt a whole ton of impirical evidence to support either conclusion.

    bottom line, its your gun. do with it as you please.

    I don't do it on hand guns...I do break in the barrels on my rifles though.

    Thank you also, KEV and Eric. Think we'll just take the first 100 kinda slow and call it good.

    Your barrel will tell you. Watch the muzzle. If you start seeing copper in the rifling after a few shots, take the time to clean it.

    Contrary to much popular advice, Rifles need to be broke in.
