    Barrels do not 'wear in', they just start wearing out when you start shooting them. Just start shooting it with whatever loads you intend to use and clean it properly after each day. Incidentally, the useful life of a good barrel (say 6000 rounds) is less than 10 seconds of actual use time. Do not, repeat not, use any form of abrasive as suggested in an earlier post!
