[QUOTE="Litehiker, post: 1713233, member: 54178"] I think JE CUSTOM has the best explanation of why one should clean between each shot for the first 10 or 20 shots. But since my stainless barrel was factory lapped by Miroku I think that any copper build-up or "humps" would be minimal. [B]With that in mind[/B] I'll do a complete copper cleaning and do a 10 shot clean-each-shot routine. As is I got a final 3 shot grouping of 7/8" at 200 yards with a fluted, skinny barreled rifle so that ain't too bad. Eric B. BTW, on my cleaning with a plastic coated Otis cleaning cable: My rifle has a muzzle thread protector cap so the cable bears, if at all, against the cap bore and not the muzzle bore. And those using brakes should, for the same reason I stated, leave them in place when cleaning, whether with a rod, string or coated cable. [/QUOTE]
