[QUOTE="Oi.223, post: 1606682, member: 107540"] I clean when I start to see accuracy go away. Each gun is different. If you use bullet coatings , you can usually shoot an entire agg (50- 75 rounds). Patch size is dependent on shape and diameter of jag. I use a .22 jag for every cal. up to 30. I just use larger patches, or stick them off center to get the proper snugness. I use only quality patches, Pro-Shot, or Sinclair. I use a good quality bronze brush like Dewey, and I run it both directions, but I am careful exiting the muzzle. I use Iosso at the end of every agg to keep the carbon from forming. I still use Butches Bore Shine....Wipe-out would be too much mess and too time consuming. I also coat the bore with a good oil like Butches......NEVER anything with Teflon, which is in Rem-Oil......I want the barrel to foul (lay down a layer of carbon) quickly so that I can expend one round and then proceed with my sighters.
