    Breaking in a new barrel

    So I just bought my first rifle a new howa 308 in stanless it's off at the gun Smith at the moment but was wondering what you guys do to break in the break in a new barrel or will it just be fine after 5 shots. I've head something about putting a patch down after every shot? Is there any truth in this?
    Cheers
