[QUOTE="dok7mm, post: 1521520, member: 90080"] I used to clean to bare metal after about 75-100 rounds. That was just to see what the powder and copper fouling situation was. After seeing the results, I now go to 150-200 rounds prior to cleaning unless I change bullets or powder. I will normally dry patch the carbon after each session. I have no reason to think it effects the burnished HBN as it's pretty hard. I do think it's probably not a good idea to leave HBN in a barrel for long-term storage. It doesn't take too long to treat the barrel and 5-6 shots gets my rifles ready to go. When I've cleaned, then retreated the barrel, I always shoot 2 shots with a reduced charge to avoid over pressure. I once forgot to load the reduced ammo and that first shot sure got my attention.
