[QUOTE="Fiftydriver, post: 892147, member: 10"] With the chamberings I deal with most often, carbon fouling is as big of a problem as copper fouling is. If carbon builds up, your accuracy will drop off. Also, any fouling in the bore can attract moisture and cause the finish of the bore to degrade from corrosion, that is always a bad thing. Cleaning really does not increase bore life per say but keeping your bore clean reduces the chance that dirt, dust and grit can get into your receiver, chamber and bore. All three can reduce the life of the entire weapon system if left in the rifle while in operation. [/QUOTE]
