what ammo should i use to break in the barrel on my DPMS 308??  is it OK to use the surplus hirtenberger (austrian) crap i just bought, or should i use my duty ammo??

the rifle will probably shoot cheap stuff for the rest of it's life, so should i bother with the match ammo for break-in??

thanks--john

Sounds smart to me, except hirt is not crap - Indian, Pakistani, and Malaysian, now that is crap.

the hirt's NOT crap??  cool, i was a little concerned about it because of the price ($90/200rds).  the owner of the local gun/pawn said he thought it was junk, but it looked good to me, so i went with my gut and bought a couple battle packs.

so, i should use the match for break in.  any specific reason??  sorry if this is a dumb question.  i always use match ammo to break in rifles that will only use match ammo, but this rifle will pretty much be used for plinking and such.

thanks for the info--john
