Hi SD
Just about to get new 223 rifle, probably Howa Varmint.
Howa recommend to follow their instructions regarding preparing the new barrel. I intend to do this but was curious as to opinions from you all whether it's actually required.

FAO Muir........thanks for the quick reply. You are correct about Legacy. That's where I got my information.....
So just crack on and use it straight out the box???

There is no evidence that ['shooting] in' is beneficial.
And what happens if you don't?? Nothing.
They should learn how to cut their chambers better if the tool marks from the throating generates 'dust' that is deposited in their hand lapped barrel.
I built cast bullet bench rest rifles. By their logic, every barrel I made should have leaded.
They didn't.~Muir
Have fun!What????? ..... you don't believe all this hocus pocus??? Unless someone can get the aforesaid Dr Kolbe on here to give us chapter and verse its all a bit speculative and down to personal experience.
It's Christmas - you believe in Santa don't you??
It makes me feel better - relax.
Now off to perforate some deer...
