[QUOTE="davkrat, post: 1086288, member: 6452"] I keep reading about people letting guns go hundreds of rounds without cleaning because they get to a point that the fouled barrel settles down and is more accurate. In my guns I like to keep them cleaned regularly. I figure it is easier to consistanly maintain a fouled rate. If I clean my barrel then shoot 3-5 foulers to check zero before a hunt I have a known level of fouling. I've tried letting it go and the copper got so bad I started getting poor accuracy, inconsistent velocities and pressure signs. [/QUOTE]
