[QUOTE="MachV, post: 257256, member: 93"] I hate cleaning but try to clean after every use. The problem is most of my shooting is high volume at little prairie dogs so they kinda gotta stay ½ MOA or better. I never use to keep track of how many rounds, just shoot till the barrel was hot and grab another gun and bag of shells. The last couple of years though I started putting the rounds in 50 and 100 round ammo boxes and have noticed that no two guns are the same! Though 350 rounds out of a 6ai is a LOT? 22-250 Shilen 8 twist barrel=not more than 25 rounds! Nasty carbon ring that is hard to get out if fired past 25 and by 35 rounds god only knows where they are going to land! 6.5-284=50 rounds is max accuracy. Again nasty carbon ring that is hard to remove. Savage lite 204=75-100 rounds. Again carbon ring the limiting factor Savage 243 Varmint/55grain noslers=150 rounds Savage 204 Varmint=175-200 rounds Custom 6-284 bench gun=Only have 50 rounds of brass and usualy dont use all of that between cleanings Cooper22ppc=only have 100 rounds of brass so it gets cleaned every 100 rounds.Last 5 rounds as good as the second 5 rounds Ebco 6BR barrel=only have 100 rounds of brass so it gets cleaned every 100 rounds.Last 5 rounds as good as the second 5 rounds Rechambered Savage 223ai=200 and it wants cleaned CZ lite 223= dont know as it has gone all weekend without cleaning or loss of accuracy The old Ruger VT in 223 is long past its prime but used to go 500 between cleanings....Maybe that why I only got 2500 rounds out of that barrel? Naw its because I shot it way to hot way too many times! The 6.5x55, 7mag and 308 Baer have not been shot enough between cleanings to know? [/QUOTE]
