[QUOTE="Newfoundlander, post: 1195000, member: 92078"] Wedgy, I do not use any harsh chemical cleaners in my rifles.. I use a patch with CLP for a few rubs through and then follow with clean patches to remove that stuff.. I read once that copper deposits in a barrel is helpful, it is like grading a dirt road , it smooths out the ( potholes ) cracks in the metal of the lands / groves.. Why remove that when it makes for a smother ride of the bullet.. When I didn't know the difference 40 years ago, I cleaned continuously and didn't realize why I was getting shotgun patterns with my groups... Also I was using factory ammo and that didn't help things either with accuracy.. I now know that it is more important to keep a cooler barrel while shooting than worry about how clean the barrel is.. I do run a couple cold shots through when I change from bullet type to bullet type brands on the same day of shooting.. Each brand name has different nodes and I like to trow a couple through to get the barrel accustomed to that brand of bullet.. Just my 2¢ worth from my experiences.. May not be the right thing to do, but I do it.. Thanks for asking, hope that it is helpful.. [/QUOTE]
