[QUOTE="earlcurtis67, post: 912949, member: 47174"] I have been thinking about this subject since I orginally commented on my cleaning regimen ( or lack there of). My primary reason for not copper cleaning as much as has been suggested is to give me peice of mind for a cold bore shot. My .270 is my "hunting" rifle, at the end of the season it gets scrubed down with sweets, oiled then put back in the safe. The S2 on the other hand I purchased to shoot. I know that earlier I said I had 20-30 rounds fired since break in, but after counting the leftover brass the # is 16, all factory ammo. I also came to the realization that the improvement in accuracy may be the improvement in my shooting form rather than fouling. Some of us have talked about cleaning when accuracy falls off, but then it occured to me theres no way of knowing exactly when that will happen, so I'm willing to give some of ya'lls sugestions a try. I dont know that ill clean after every shot, but will clean after every range session and go from there. I have reloaded 85gn nossler ballistic tips and some hornady 117gn SPBT. How would ya'll recommend I clean while trying to work up two different rounds while at the range.........E [/QUOTE]
