[QUOTE="Wolf76, post: 1685747, member: 75779"] I fail to see the point of shooting a clean barrel for groups. The most internal change per shot is the first 12 shots. Copper, carbon, and powder residue are being left behind after each shot. With a squeaky clean bore, you can't replicate the barrel condition unless you clean after every shot. With a fouled bore, the condition is very repeatable. As for the 1 shot, 1 kill thing... that's a foolish plan. Sure, it's a goal and we put a lot of time into making it happen. But since I'm over the age of 12, I know things rarely go according to plan. Which is why I (and everyone else) carry more than 1 bullet in the field. And we've all had life happen, like small limb deflects a bullet, animal moves at the same time the trigger breaks, animal doesn't act hit, or we flat out got nervous and biffed the shot. Point being, I need a gun that is consistent for many shots and that happens on a fouled barrel. Have never had a clean barrel shoot well(especially true with factory barrels). [/QUOTE]
