[QUOTE="Timeee123, post: 1404065, member: 104480"] Purely my opinion. I have found I would get dialed to zero, then go home and clean it. I would go back to the range and I would be off again so I would re-dail and repeat. So I do one of two things. 1. For hunting season, dial it in, go hunt my seasons then clean it. I find it shoots the same for hunting as it did when I left the range 2. If I shoot go home and clean, When I go to the range again I will shoot 3 loads that didn't (load development I wasnt happy with) work for me or 3 round of cheap ammo, then it goes back to center It is my understanding that shooting if oil is still in the bbl causes slippage and will shoot different Probably better ways to do it but this works for me Some rifles I have shoot better when the bbl is a little bit fouled. Side note I read an article where they ran an experiment on it. The end of the article they recommended only cleaning every 250 to 300 rounds. I don't know if I buy that But I do think people overclean. [/QUOTE]
