    A better way of putting it: Small things up close- 22LR, 12G, Small things further away- 223 Big things up close- 12G or 7.62X39 Big things further away- .308

    Ftx325 While I cannot answer whether you should or should not break a barrel in, I sort of do break my ones in. Every rifle I get I take it to the range and sight it in. I want to sight it with...
