[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 204879, member: 2736"] During hunting season I will clean real good before the start and check zero.s by shooting a fowling shot then a follow up 3 shot group If everything is ok then I clean and fire another fowling shot and then pull a bore snake through just to remove the powder fowling and I,m ready to go hunting. Then for the rest of the season after each shot I use the bore snake to keep the bore free of powder fowling. "Note" these are stainless barrels , on chrome moly barrels I keep them oiled and dry patch just before I go hunting. As Boss hoss said some barrels don't need a fowling shot but you have to no which ones. So go to the range and test the rifle to see what process/Procedure you should use. As for how many shots before a bare metal cleaning ,each barrel is different. Some like a certain amount of copper fowling (Seasoning) and shoot better with a light cleaning but most of the custom barrels shoot there best clean. J E CUSTOM [/QUOTE]
