[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 643796, member: 2736"] All barrels are different. Some like a clean cold barrel others like a slightly fouled barrel that is cold. I have had both and one of my favorite rifles likes one fouling shot followed by a dry patch just to sweep out the barrel. Then it is ready to go hunting. A clean barrel lightly oiled changes the POI on some rifles and it is wise to know what your rifle likes best through experimentation. One reason I like the stainless barrels is that they don't have to be oiled every time you shoot them and if they need a fouling shot it is ok to leave it that way for a short time. I like to use the bore snake for this and carry one with me on the hunt so that after a shot I can sweep the barrel and I am ready to make the next shot with the barrel in it's favorite condition.
