This is a discussion with Gale McMillan of McMillan bbl fame. His bbls need no introduction:

Kinda of a long read but worth your time. I concur with a lot of it, I think bbl breaking is often over done and in fact in many cases done to the point it actually costs you 1000's of rds of bbl life.

Hey O.C; good article.
I`m thinking I need to do a real thorough cleaning on my barrel, so that I know it is 100% as clean as possible, then, go out and bench down real tight and see just exactly what My AR10 can do.
Thank You

Clean it when it's fouled or going to be sitting for a long time. I can't say I've seen any measurable difference between not doing it and following the ritual.
