Gunsmithing Setting back barrel

[Ajrich]

When you set back a barrel do you have to break in the throat like a new barrel and there would be no barrel speed up again would there?
Thanks

No. Setting aside the the question whether even a new quality barrel needs to be broken in, a barrel being set back has presumably had more than enough rounds through it. The very small length of newly cut throat wont affect velocity. Set it back and shoot it.

Perfect. Thanks!
