Default Break In For A Stainless Barrel

I've read a lot of info for barrel break in on the net and it seems that a lot of folks have different but similar methods on what to do before those initial first shots...but in my search on a stainless barrel I haven't found a whole lot. I'm just curious as to what the consensus is here on the forum on what to do on that first trip to the range.

Which would be as follows...

a) Take action apart from stock and clean out the gunk on the inside and outside. Reassemble.
b) Go to range and have fun shooting your new gun
c) Go home and thoroughly clean.

Break in is now complete!
