[QUOTE="MontanaRifleman, post: 499480, member: 11717"] Below is a quote from Shawn Carlock and a link to the thread. He shot a .069" 3 shot group with a rilfe that hadn't been cleaned for over 200 rounds. If memory serves me well, I don't think he does break-in either. I think every barrel is different and custom barrels will likely be better shooters clean or fouled. I know my experience with breaking in factory barrels has made them easier to clean and probably increased their accuracy string. Now Buckbrush and Shawn have rifles that shoot very well going a long time between cleanings. Unfortunately, that is simply not my experience. When my rifles get fouled to a point, the groups will open way up pretty quick. I'm talking like 3 MOA from 1/2 MOA. If I don't clean my rifle at a certain point, it will spray bullets all over. Sooo, break-in is a good thing for me and cleaning at certain intervals is a requirement if I want good accuracy. [/QUOTE]
