I don't think it is apples to apples and many folks very competent feel the same. John Barsness is one that comes to mind.

I do not break in custom barrels anymore other than my shoot a bunch to get it going, clean it down to white patches (Wipeout is the favorite) and the get it dirty again and start load development. I have several very accurate and consistent rifles that behave this way after that treatment.

I'm not an SBR shooter, but I did read about them once.
