Best barrel break in for 6mm Remington?

I have browsed several different pages on barrel break ins and all are different. Some would seem to take months to do and others an afternoon. My question is that I want to know if there is a fast, easy and PROVEN break in method.

The barrel is an Encore 6mm Remington coming from the TC Custom Shop. The rifle will be used for varmint/target purposes out to 500 yards so I want it to be accurate. I would also like to be able to break this thing in completely within 100 rounds so that I can start working on the loads properly.

Thanks,
F-C
 
No reason to take a month to break in a barrel unless your awful busy doing other things, and just don't have the time to spend a afternoon on your barrel.....
Seeing that barrels are all different it may take 25 rounds on one and them 100 on another one. All your doing is ironing out the reamer marks on the throat, and the cutter marks in the barrel so it cleans up easier.
Custom barrels will come along quicker than a factory barrel will.
I like to clean after every shot for at least 5 shots, then go to 2 shots between cleaning, then 3, then 4, then start shooting 5 shot groups if your satisfied all is well...
