I know there's a lot of argument about barrel break-in, so let's forego any discussion and just assume that I'm right and it's something you should do.
Now that we're all correct, I was wondering if cartridge quality is of any concern. I know guys that won't let anything buy handloaded match rounds touch their barrels. But is that necessary for break-in? Can I go buy a box of cheap rounds to fire threw the barrel or do I need to use my actual rounds?
I apologize if this is an amazingly asinine questions, but please humor me.
