[QUOTE="elkaholic, post: 465566, member: 13833"] I have found that every rifle is a little different (or sometimes a lot). The best answer is to shoot your rifle enough to know it's habits. With a lapped barrel, you should be able to shoot more than a factory one "in general". Most barrels will be from 20 to over 100 rounds. It usually takes a few rounds to get the barrel settled back in to consistent POI after cleaning. I prefer to NOT get every single speck of copper out but stop short of "perfectly white patches". I feel it takes fewer shots to get POI back using this method. I really like a product called "Bore Tech Eliminator". It cleans both carbon and copper very well and will not harm the barrel even if left in overnight. As was already mentioned, use a bore guide and be very careful of the muzzle area (crown). Never clean from the muzzle end or even attempt to drag a patch or brush back thru. I like to use Kroil to finish wipe the bore after cleaning. Good luck......Rich [/QUOTE]
