[QUOTE="RTK, post: 686817, member: 47888"] The powder and copper fouling smooth out all the minute peaks and valleys in your bore. I have had guns that take quite a few rounds before they will even start to group well after a good cleaning.. Over the years I have learned to clean less and less. I usually will try to patch out the powder fouling with a few patches after shooting but really don't get very aggressive any more, especially for the copper fouling. If I am not going to shoot for a long time I do a thorough cleaning then patch with kroil and oil before putting her up. I know guys that only clean when accuracy drops off, and that is very rarely, maybe after a few hundred shots. [/QUOTE]
