I have a brand new .270 Savage barrel I bought 8 months ago. I just changed it out on one of my '06's. (does that make it a 30.270? or is it a 270.06?...)

Is it necessary / worth going thru break in procedure? Since it's a factory tube, does it need that TLC we normally afford those hi dollar, big buck barrels we buy? Or should I not be concerned with break in & just have at it and keep it down to 2 to 3 rounds & let it cool thoroughly?

Thanks for your input.
