Basically, the author is suggesting that when you get your new gun, do the following before normal shooting:
Now you are ready to do "normal" shooting, and shoot as much as you like.
Okay, so is this truly helpful and a good idea to do or is it overkill?
I know everyone has a different opinion and the answers will vary, but I'd like to hear what everyone has to say on this.
Edit: If you agree with this, please explain why. If you do not agree, please explain why. If you agree somewhat and also disagree somewhat, well you get the picture.

Basically, the author is suggesting that when you get your new gun, do the following before normal shooting:
- Clean: Run 1 wet patch of solvent through the barrel. Then run a wet brush or boresnake with solvent through the barrel. Then run dry patches through the barrel until they come out clean and dry.
- Shoot 1 round.
- Clean it again, following the same cleaning procedure as stated above in #1.
- Shoot 2 rounds.
- Clean again as outlined in #1.
- Shoot 3 rounds.
- Clean again as outlined in #1.
- Shoot 4 rounds.
- Clean again as outlined in #1.
- Shoot 5 rounds.
- Clean again as outlined in #1.
Now you are ready to do "normal" shooting, and shoot as much as you like.
