[QUOTE="Kevin Cram, post: 204743, member: 2215"] In 1000 yard benchrest at Williamsport PA most competitors would fire approxmately 5-10 rounds for sighters and 10 record rounds for a total of approximately 20 rounds at most. Almost everyone cleaned their rifles before they shot again, especially if they made the shoot off. Then came the 6.5-.284 which seems to like to shoot dirty. I go 100 rounds before pushing anything down the barrel, and only clean then because I feel guilty it's dirty. Once I clean though it takes about 10 fouler rounds to get it to settle in, then it's good to go, even from a cold bore. All my other calibers I try not to go more than 20-25 rounds between cleaning, and like Sniper said watch the heat build up. [/QUOTE]
