[QUOTE="bigBolin51, post: 782537, member: 66374"] I'm certainly not arguing with anything anybody says, for what I'm about to say is contrary to What most people believe. I hardly ever take a brush to my barrels anymore because I have found that if I let then build up with fouling that at some point ,50-60 shots, the accuracy starts to be more consistent. By that I mean I might can shoot a .75 inch group with a squeaky clean barrel but my next group might measure 1.25 and the next .9 and so on. After many shots the bore seems to become seasoned and I can consistently shoot under .75 at 100. Like I say this is not gonna work with every rifle but does work with mine. I still clean with oil and patches to remove carbon and suit but I leave the copper fouling be. I'm relatively new to the rifle shooting game so the more experienced shooter's opinions will be the ones to go with, just food for thought. [/QUOTE]
