[QUOTE="Gamesniper19, post: 2745203, member: 95013"] IME - button rifled barrels can require more than a cut rifle barrel - even with that said, it is a barrel by barrel decision. Buttoning does cause more stress and usually requires more finish work but the same can be needed if a cut rifle barrel is using a worn cutter or a process that is a bit fast. Most folks dont have a bore scope to tell if the barrel was properly lapped and finished. Many folks arent really sure of exactly what to look for either. So as a rule - break it in. The 15 rounds or so to break in a barrel are inconsequential to the long term barrel life so if there is no other down side, why not? Break in can also help you develop your load and zero for your ladder while you are at it. [/QUOTE]
