[QUOTE="memtb, post: 1626720, member: 75451"] I think the answer is much like what many on here are saying.....let the particular rifle dictate the cleaning. In the early days of Barnes X Bullets, they were notorious for fouling. Some barrels were “MUCH” worse than others. I was using a “match grade” SS barrel, and found that it “did not” require cleaning due to copper fouling near as often as many standard barrels. I had a friend that had trouble with groups and excessive fouling with a new rifle with a SS barrel (the early days of factory rifles using stainless)....using the new X Bullet! I helped him do a thorough “polish job” on the bore.....which improved both grouping and fouling considerably! With today’s improved metallurgy of the mono’s, it doesn’t seem to be the issue it once was! memtb [/QUOTE]
