sknz0021, My only advice is to contact the firearms or barrel maker and do what they advise...
This is a subject that generates opinions, and is like noses, everyone has one...
I have some that I've followed a strict break in regimen and others I've shot normally... Is there a world of difference, or has one not lasted as long as the other...?? Not that I can tell.. but I've almost always followed what the company instructed me to do, just in case there was a problem later...
I do suggest using good cleaning practices when you clean though.... bore guide, good rod, etc....
