Barrel Break-in with Fire Forming Loads?

Anyone else try this?

I thought it seemed like a good idea, two birds with one stone and all, but am now second guessing myself. So far I've shot and cleaned four times and haven't seen a lick of copper fouling (blue patches), but there seems to be excessive carbon fouling, like 15+ black patches between each shot.

FWIW, fire forming 6.5 Grendal to 6mmART40. RE-15 powder, 87gr Vmax, using Butches Bore shine and Sweets to clean with.
