Fred, I did the same recommended break in on the AR10 T I got this spring. Don't know if it was necessary but I did it any way.

At any time during the course of your break-in, did you ever get the feeling that the process felt to have smoothed out and drag on the brush had reduced with no further reduction in drag?

Ha! Words my former supervisors would never have uttered.
I might have to visit the tall grass to share some of the reasons why...

Tall grass stories give us insight in to the true Fred.

Meh...
I'm more of a contradiction. I think it would serve confusion more than enlightenment.
But that's okay, keeps 'em guessin'. :evil:

Short answer, yes. I used Armalites recommended procedure on my M-15 TBN target barrel.It took fewer passes to get a clean patch as I went through the process. POI shifted as I went through the process. there is a picture and details in this thread;

Nice thread inputs.
Ironically, I'm chompin' at the bit to get to my break-in.

The scope mount wasn't in and I have to send the upper out for a rail alignment.
No harm, no foul. Gives me a few days to pick-n-choose some cleaning products and chemicals.

Found some Boeshield T-9...it's supposed to be a great CLP. Gonna use it for cleaning, storage and on moving parts that don't see fire...it leaves a wax film. Gotta see how it handles powder/carbon. If it doesn't do the job, I'll have uses for it elsewhere.

Still need to decide on a copper solvent and lube for hot parts.

Did not reallynotice a shift in point of impact, as I had a temporary scope on it while I was waiting for the one I had on order. As I only had it boresighted, the groups were less than spectacular. I can say it groups nice now. The attached target was one I shot when I was still dialing it in. You will notice it is a little high at 100 yards. (intentional). Later dialed it dead on for 200, but I can't find a picture of that target.
