Some people do barrel break-in, and some don't. If it was clear that there were benefits to it, there wouldn't be so much discussion about it.
But we all know that cleaning after every shot isn't conducive to shooting the smallest groups, and I think that was your point.
A 1.2" 10-shot group from a new rifle, with no load tuning and under the barrel break-in routine you describe would make me VERY happy.
I was excited to see the LAW when they first came out, and your report has me looking at a LAW again. It's a lot of gun for the money.
