I'm with alan on this. Shoot one clean one. for twenty, then shoot some groups whilst cleaning.
I'd like to borescope his barrel after a few shots of heating up like that and seeing the damage.

Is that regime required for all calibres or just quick ones?

Go to the Krieger Barrels website and see what they say. I use the Kreiger method and get in excess of 10,000 rounds from my .308 target rifle barrels.

The guy in the video now has a properly broken match barrel!
