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.

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!
