I just got two new Brux barrels One smokeless 45 caliber, and the other a 243 rifle barrel. What would be the proper break in for the two?

You'll get a different answer from nearly everybody you ask. IMO a lapped barrel doesn't need any special break in procedure. Shoot the crap out of both of them and then clean them up real good. From there on just use your normal procedure.

I usually check to see what the manufacturer recommends and follow their guidelines, but the last couple I have just shot and cleaned them to my liking.

A properly lapped barrel has already had its "break in" procedure
done by lapping.

I am of the opinion it is not the barrel per se but the newly cut throat and leade that need the break in. The barrel was linearly lapped and then you cut across it with a spinning reamer to make a chamber. There will be some very fine burrs or lip at that chamber's front end that are getting the break in. Good smiths know how to mitigate this by proper polishing.
