A consistent barrel is an accurate one.
POI and accuracy will be different between a clean, slightly fouled, moderately fouled and fully fouled barrel.
Takes that first 20 or 30 shots or however many from a clean to get back up to a consistent level, which most guys consider a waste of time/ammo.
As the wax protects the bore it can be left in, and accurate from one shoot to the next should be the same without the break-in period.
