I see no need for proofing a newly purchased rifle or pistol other than not exceeding a recommended maximum load for the whatever projectile one chooses to shoot.
If worried about go a tiny bit less on your charges. It might also be a good idea to bring your gun to be inspected by trustworthy gunsmith before firing it.
Aside from that the barrel might have been proofed already by a manufacturer's proofing house under strict conditions.
Don't some manufacturers use coded stamps on a barrel to show that it has been proofed anyway?
