[QUOTE="Greyfox, post: 643845, member: 10291"] While my primary LR rifle shows virtual no difference between clean, cold fouled , and hot fouled, I prefer to hunt with a fouled barrel. My other rifles need to be fouled. I only clean after 20-30 rounds or so, or if the rifle is subjected to high moisture conditions. Leaving nitro based fouling in the barrel for the duration of a hunt, or season will not cause barrel corrosion unless it gets damp/wet, and goes unfired for a extended period. I think you are ok with your fouled bore set up. I would also try a couple of multi shot groups without letting the barrel cool between shots. This could be a field condition should an accurate follow up shot be required. IMHO. [/QUOTE]
