You will get alot of answers on this. Just shoot and clean often is my way, if nothing else it will get you use to the gun.

Everyone has a different way, 1 shot clean/ 3 shots clean / 5 shots clean, some don't even clean till after thier range session. Some people like to fire lap the barrel. I would only say, Don't over heat the barrel. I normally shoot 3 shot groups and clean, letting the barrel cool down between groups. How many rounds to break the barrel in is also contingent on the barrel quality. And then I shoot 5 shot groups to test accuracy level.

10 shots bore snake between each shot, then 15 shots bore snake between every 3 shots. done.

Just shoot it.
This is probably one of the most argued subjects on the net other than caliber. I don't do the ritualistic clean between every so many shots.
Clean before shooting it.
Run 10-30rds through it then clean again.
Don't clean again till accuracy falls off. In my factory Remington barrels this has ranged from 75-200 shots.
