[QUOTE="RT2506, post: 911794, member: 10178"] Unless I have been out hunting in the rain and snow I only clean when accuracy starts to fall off. I have seen lots more damage done to barrels by cleaning them too much than I have by not cleaning them. Way back a number of years ago I cleaned my custom Shilen barrel 25-06 really well removing all the copper. I had to shoot about 40 rounds before it would start grouping again. It came to me then don't mess with a good thing. As long as it is shooting little bitty groups leave it alone. [/QUOTE]
