To each their own, but I have never done a barrel break-in. Had an uncle who was a world class military sniper (and hunter) in his day and told me it was all BS - I listened to him, all my bolt rifles shoot sub MOA with hand loads, most around 0.7" as that is my hunting goal and I stop tweaking when I get there - my 2 bench rifles shoot closer to 0.25". I also go 65-100 rounds between deep cleaning depending on rifle, but do run a quick hoppes solvent on a bore snake and quick patch through guns before putting in the safe. YMMV
