Use your own judgement, shoot 10 or 15 rounds, then safety check the firearm, and take a glance inside the barrel, if the copper fouling looks heavy, brush and swab it. shoot another 10-15 rounds, and have another look. I agree that "proper" break in is utterly unnecessary for a recreational shooter. A tad bit of copper buildup may be beneficial in that it smooths minor imperfections in the rifling of the barrel, but its pretty obvious when its too much, and that will affect accuracy.
