On the other hand there are some pretty fugly barrels (mostly factory barrels) that shoot inconsistently if you clean them every 10 shots, sometimes takes 10 or 20 shots worth of fouling to fill the potholes and speed bumps with fouling before they settle in and shoot consistently. Owned a few of those and no amount of break in will ever stop them from fouling badly and they only shoot their best when fouled, not that their best is Benchrest quality groups but they often shoot MOA or better.
