One of the biggest con tricks in shooting ever.
Just clean thoroughly after every use.

Hang tight... there'd definitely a few here that will chime in with their breaking in techniques. I reckon it's about 50% of shooters believe that it's beneficial.
I reckon SCJ429 summed it up extremely well.
At the end of the day you've got little to loose by excessive cleaning other than time and money.
I watched a video of a bloke bust the "cleaning wears out your barrel" myth, he used a power drill and frantically reamed his barrel making sure to be extra aggressive.... all from the muzzle end and despite his best efforts the barrel looked great.
Yeah that was in part to test if short stroking with a bronze brush would damage the bore
Apparently, there was NO damage done.
