[QUOTE="BrentM, post: 1895638, member: 61747"] Do what you want. After developing bad carbon rings, having issues with blow back using my can, and using a plethora of cleaners, I do what works for me. I was advised to use boretech by a friend who is a respected gunsmith and won't go back. I have others now using it and swearing they'll never go back as well. I hate cleaning so using something that works quickly and effectively is a big deal for me. Like most, I rarely clean copper fouling out, I do clean carbon, and I clean carbon way more than used to. Carbon build up is going to differ for each of us depending on powder used, how much, how over bore the cartridge is, and the rate of fire. I have had some rifles that take 5-10 rounds after cleaning to really settle back in and some don't even need a fouling round fired unless shooting ELR. My preference is to always have fouler down the barrel before hitting the field but when cold clean bore mapping the rifle, some don't care within reasonable distances. So me, I use bore tech cleaners, nylon brushes, chamber/bore guides, a chamber cleaning tool, sonic clean my can and brakes, and the interval depends. I like to clean carbon often and would say 50-100 on most of my rifles is just fine ( I can go longer, but don't). I'll clean copper on oem barrel if it shoots poorly, but custom barrels with proper hand lapping rarely need to be stripped out. [/QUOTE]
