Well, I guess that is why all the knowelgable shooters hang out at accurateshooter.com...and don't worry Lil' Frankie I won't let the door hit me in the ass on the way out, I'm leaving voluntarily

Not two passes with a brush. You coat the inside of the barrel with the oil then fire a bullet with the oil still in place. And yeah, I agree, nothing about two passes with a brush would do anything. But a few bullets fired could.

LL, You are so misinterpretting what I'm saying. I'm not advocating this, only that it exists and you don't have any evidence, other than anecdotal to support your claim that it doesn't work. Think about that for a second. I'm not saying that it does work because I don't have enough data to...

@Lowlight Bartlein barrels will reccomend this gunsmith and I quote from their company president, "we think very highly of him around here".

Ok let's take a step back, shall we. I put out a method of break-in that I've never read about. That is called the sharing of information. I also stated I didn't know if it works, just that it was recommended to me by a qualified shooter, gunsmith, and engineer with 40 years experience. I...

That's a pretty strong statement from someone who doesn't compete in BR. Have you, Frank, tried this method? If not, how can you make any claims to its effectiveness? Are you a metallurgist that can explain how the 2-stroke oil and the bullet work on the barrel?

As for factory barrels, well, they're just glorified tomato stakes so why waste the time.

I'll throw this out there just because... Not that I always do it, but I was taught by a world record (seven last time I asked) BR shooter to use 2-stroke motor oil to break in the barrel. He instructed me to coat the inside of the barrel in the oil, fire one shot, then clean with a regular...

I'll just add that it can also be a place to record correct wind calls for different ranges/locations/matches. Oh, and cold bore shot POI can be recorded as well, and often to a lesser degree second shot POI.

Berger VLD's are seating depth sensitive, but their Hybrid and Classic Hunter lines are not at all sensitive and shoot very well at magazine length.

I'm in no way supporting you. I completely disagree with your behavior on this thread.

If Optics Planet continued to sell these magazines, they would be in vilolation of the law, correct? And someone who knowingly and willingly breaks the law is effectively a criminal correct? So, if OP sold these mags, they would in effect be a criminal. There are plenty of laws I disagree...

@mcameron Well, buddy, you go ahead and follow the laws you agree with and disregard those you dislike and see how that works out for ya!! I'll be sure to send you some $$$ to keep Big Bubba at bay.

OP is following the law. So good for them. What is bad, is the law itself.
