I’m one of those nut cases that break in rifles with heavy barrels that are going to be used for target.
It’s a long process and probably does little to help. It’s not going to make a bad barrel good and can (if done wrong) destroy a good barrel.
The best way to test new loads with a new hand gun is to shoot it. That’s one of the great things about reloading, just one more reason to put more down range.
