So I finally have a new hunting rifle to take out this season (Nosler M48 Liberty in 26 Nosler) and was reading about barrel break-in. This rifle has a factory hand lapped barrel, so should I really have to go through this whole process? It isn't like there is cheapo ammo out there for this thing to just run down the barrel. We are talking $4.50-5.00 per shot. And that isn't the actual hunting rounds. So there is sight in also. Knew when I bought the thing it wasn't going to be cheap to shoot, but it is a hunting rifle. Probably will be shot at the most 5 times a year if I get lucky. Anyway, opinions?
