Waist of time.
This is what I did with the one I had. Shot the first 20 rounds letting the bore go cold between each shot. Then shot the next 80 rounds making sure the barrel never got more then just warm enough to feel it with my hand.
Cleaned it and went on about doing load work ups. That rifle is a tack driver at 200 yards with 129 ablr, 85 trex, 120 fusion, 123 eld-m's.
My best friend has it now.
You should know that I think barrel break in is a waist of time and money. And what I stated above is basicly how I treat every barrel I get.
Works well for me. I'm sure the next 100 people will have 100 diffrent ways of doing it.
