[QUOTE="5.56×250, post: 2469082, member: 110162"] I like to shoot/clean after each round for as many as it takes to FEEL the patch run slick through the tube. Usually 20 shots or so, depending in the quality of the barrel. New hand lapped barrels are usually gtg from the start, but i will still shoot/clean a few rounds just to see if it smooths out. After that, I will clean periodically , usually from guilt or boredom. I use sweets 7.62 and scrub, then let it sit for 5 minutes. Then hoppes no.9 and scrub. Then a dab of Brownell bore paste for 10 to 20 strokes . Then light oil in patch till clean. They break in quick and are easy to clean for the life of the barrel after that process. [/QUOTE]
