I'm not addressing any concerns in particular with the break in but I'm of the mindset that if there's any benefit, then it's worth my time. If not, it can't hurt. I want to get as much accuracy as I can out of the parts I have so I've really tried to pay attention to the details on this build. I figure a proper break in is the final step in that process.
kcb:
If you bought a quality barrel and it needs such a 'break in' to shoot well, it isn't a quality barrel.
If you bought a cheap barrel and expect it to shoot like a quality barrel if you use some sort of break in process, you are wasting your time and will end up with a cheap barrel that shoots no better than before you 'broke in the barrel'.
I don't think the Wolf ammo will do any damage to your barrel. I also don't think it will improve anything. You go cheap on a barrel and your chances increase that it won't do well past about 200 yards.
If you want to save some money, buy a tub of JB bore paste and use it in the barrel as written in their directions. Will take ten minutes and you are done.
