[QUOTE="mudflap621, post: 2359435, member: 116958"] This! I’m up to almost 1000 rounds on a 223 and she’s still hammering so I’m not touching the bore. Only thing I clean is action, bolt, and I’ll wipe down the outside of gun but the bore doesn’t get touched until groups open up or I get something foreign in the bore i.e. mud or water. Many people do more damage to bore by cleaning than by shooting IMO. To each their own. As far as rust buildup I beleive this is more a moisture problem than gunpowder problem. I’ve got firearms that have sat for years without a hint of rust but my room also has a dehumidifier running all the time as well as an in safe one. [/QUOTE]
