[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 3086979, member: 313"] It's worth testing to ease your mind but I haven't noticed a loss of accuracy due to switching over without cleaning. I may shoot 5-8 different loads at the range and only clean when I get home. It wouldn't be unusual for me to shoot 5-6 groups with c&c bullets and then test a few Hammer loads (or visa-versa). I have found many excellent Hammer loads that were shot after the c&c testing. It may be possible that shooting the Hammers would group even tighter on a squeaky-clean barrel but I'm normally seeing .5moa with a carefully developed load without any special attention to bullet type switching. Personally, I have tested much of the common thought-out and repeated loading/shooting methods only to determine that they often didn't pan out in my testing. There are just so many variables when dealing with individual rifles, components and loading methods that it's hard to say what works better in your rifle without testing. There are few absolutes in this great and intriguing hobby. [/QUOTE]
