[QUOTE="winmag, post: 378643, member: 22166"] I HAVE A CLEANING DISORDER..........on my guns anyway. I cant sleep well knowing one of my guns isnt thuroughly cleaned. I have recently started to clean less between groups however, and got better accuracy..........I hate that. But its true. I used to scrub the snot out of em every 5-10 rounds. but it took a couple fouling shots to settle the bbl. enough to get real tight groups. Ive read articles in American Rifleman, and here on L/R/H about wearing out your bbl quicker by cleaning too often. I want so much to disagree, but I cant, because it makes sense. So now I shoot 20-25 rounds cooling to ambient like temp between shots before cleaning, at the range and yes I use Shooters Choice for a solvent, then EEZOX. My rifles get cleaned no matter what when I get home. And I mean scrubbed. Some habbits are hard to break. My cousin has an old .222 Rem. that takes about 10 rounds to settle after cleaning, and he refuses to clean it with anything less than 4-5 boxes of ammo run through it because it shoots so well when its dirty. Drives me nutts, but its true. [/QUOTE]
