  Wear in a barrel?

Im a new gun owner and i found the information on a review on the all reliable internet. In it the guy said you should "wear in the barrel" to prevent the fowling of a brand new handgun by shooting 5 rounds, clean gun, 10 rounds clean gun, ect. Sounded like bull to me as a machinist, nobody ever had to wear in any precision parts i ever made but i thought maybe its like a brand new car motor or something.

  Wear in a barrel?

Ask 10 barrel makers you get 10 different answers how to break in a barrel. I follow the benchrest sites but I am not a BR shooter. Check there or google barrel breakin. When sighting in/ breaking in I shoot several 5 shot groups then clean I use good copper removers "Butches bore shine" there are others. Oil well then dry patch till patch is dry. I'll shoot 100+ rounds per session. So it does take some time to clean. I do not use any tried and proven way to break in a barrel. I shoot my handguns till I am ready to go home. My bolt action rifles and boltaction handguns are cleaned very often at range 25 rds usually sometimes more if plinking.

Thanks for the reply harvey, somehow break in just didnt come to mind when searching and i used wear in. Looks like there are about a billion different methods out there and some people say its bunk, some barrel manufactures actually give you a card describing the process. Some people say it dose more harm than good, but it looks like more stick with it then against it. So ill give it a try even though id rather just fire off a whole lot in any one sitting. Thanks for fixing my brain fart though harvey, i appriciate it alot. Who would know there are a billion sites dedicated to break in and not one for wear in (Laughing out loud).
