That doesn't mean you shouldn't run a patch through to make sure no pieces of debris worked their way into the barrel, but you shouldn't need to do anything but shoot it and clean it normally otherwise.
Bingo. I took a look at my Satern barrel before shooting and it looked like a mirror. Tight little groups right out of the box too.
