[QUOTE="varmintH8R, post: 855971, member: 39801"] I am for sure a cleaner. I struggle to put my nice stuff away dirty. These threads are very interesting to me for two reasons: If cleaning less frequently improves accuracy I can maybe get past my "must be cleaned" mentality. Does cleaning properly measurably affect barrel life? My common sense tells me pushing a cloth patch down the bore (even with copper solvent) is pretty benign. I would expect it to be many orders of magnitude lower in terms of barrel erosion compared to forcing a copper-clad projectile through at many thousand fps by means of a controlled explosion. I'd love some empirical evidence to prove my "common sense" either right or wrong. Good topic... [/QUOTE]
