[QUOTE="Killertraylor, post: 2774665, member: 10842"] I shoot 600 yard F-class (.284 win) and shoot about 2500 rounds a year which is usually 2 barrels. Ruined a barrel last year by over cleaning with nylon brushes and KG bore polish. When I first got into the sport, everyone was cleaning their barrel every 300-400 rounds. Last year everyone switched to cleaning to bare metal after every 50 rounds or so. This year, lots of guys are just using copper solvent after every match, no brushes and letting the carbon cake up. I’ve shot my best scores this year not using any brushes (with the exception of a brush on a drill to remove the carbon ring in the chamber at the case neck) and have had very little throat erosion (.0015) after 620 rounds down the tube.
