I agree with Art. Quick rub down, patch the barrel, clean if necessary.

I do use a break-in procedure of cleaning after every shot for 1st 5 and after every other shot up to 11 and then after again 20th. After that, I clean when accuracy degrades, which is rarely.

Much controversy on breaking-in a barrel. I always have and I always get sub-MOA guns. Maybe coincidence, maybe not but what I do certainly does t hurt, so why not?
