[QUOTE="FireFlyFishing, post: 3032638, member: 127412"] No issues with Dewey. Cleaning your rifle depends on a number of factors. Bullet choice for one may determine your frequency as well as the solvent used. So, mono copper bullets may foul faster than traditional cup and cores. Powder in the case may also deposit more or less carbon. One thing I’ve discovered over the years…you can over clean a rifle as far as frequency goes. Because I shoot mainly magnums in rifles, I don’t have a crazy round count per rifle. I can pretty much shoot all year, clean at the conclusion of hunting season, and store for the next year. Zero accuracy issues. I recommend seeing how far you can push cleaning until you lose accuracy. Boom, you can figure out your cleaning schedule for your rifle and your load. I can run a lot of ammo through my pistols and auto loading rifles before cleaning. I’ve had fantastic results with Wipeout foaming bore cleaner. However, when used, I will have to foul the barrel to get it shooting well again. [/QUOTE]
