6BR Question.....
Is there any benefit to reducing loads for barrel break in besides saving some powder? Being that you are just breaking in the barrel you wouldn't necessarily need tack driving accuracy, huge amounts of speed, or high pressure.
An example: 87gr. Vmax over 31 grains Varget @ 3100+ fps, a favorite load listed in the reloading area of homepage. Do you really need this hot of a load for break in? Would 26-27-28 grains do the job also?
Just a subject that came up at work and had me thinkin'....
