So, your gunsmiths are saying that 14 rounds fired with six cleanings makes a significant difference in the performance of a new barrel?
This sounds like the myth that one swipe with a bronze bore brush through a barrel equals 100 rounds of wear.
Anyway, 14 rounds of wasted money is a better option than the 50 - 100 round 'barrel break in' processes that were around fifteen or twenty years ago.
